Description

On Edge Transport servers, the Connection Filtering agent acts on the IP address of the incoming SMTP connection to determine what action, if any, to take on an incoming message.

On Edge Transport servers, you need to be a member of the local Administrators group to run this cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Set-IPBlockListConfig -InternalMailEnabled $true

This example configures connection filtering to use the IP Block list on messages that come from internal connections.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

-DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The DomainController parameter isn't supported on Edge Transport servers. An Edge Transport server uses the local instance of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to read and write data.

-Enabled

The Enabled parameter specifies whether the IP Block list is used for content filtering. Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. The default value is $true. By default, the IP Block list is used for content filtering.

-ExternalMailEnabled

The ExternalMailEnabled parameter specifies whether messages from connections outside of the Exchange organization are evaluated by the IP Block list.

-InternalMailEnabled

The InternalMailEnabled parameter specifies whether messages from connections inside the Exchange organization are evaluated by the IP Block list. Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. The default value is $false. By default, messages from internal connections are not evaluated by the IP Block list. Authenticated partner messages aren't considered internal mail.

-MachineEntryRejectionResponse

The MachineEntryRejectionResponse parameter specifies customized text in the non-delivery report (NDR) for messages that are blocked by connection filtering due to IP addresses in the IP Block list that were added by sender reputation. The value can't exceed 240 characters. If the value contains spaces, enclose the value in double quotation marks (").
