These IPs would be defined by your MailEssentials administrator. Next, a check is done to make sure the email has not been spoofed with your domain, and a check against the SPF record to cut down on emails spoofed for other domains. Once finished, any email that has been blocked by a user is blocked (for only that user) then allowed. This is ensured by the fact that the Personal Blocklist prevents a single user from getting the email, then the Personal Whitelist allows a single user to get an email, followed by the domain-wide Blocklist, then the Whitelist. This ordering allows individual users to have some control over what they receive while still filtering the majority of spam as they are required to opt-in addresses to personally block or receive.Additional RecommendationsGreylisting is a very effective filter for stopping zero-day spam and is the only filter capable of blocking the zero-day spam messages until the other filters are able to start blocking them. We have found that several major webmail providers and federal agencies are not compliant with the checks Greylisting does or take an unusually long time to reply to the Greylist check so several exclusions need to be added:Open the MailEssentials Configuration UI Navigate to Anti Spam > Anti Spam Filters > Greylist Open the Email Exclusions tab, and add the following as From addresses: *@gmail.com, *@yahoo.com, *@hotmail.com, *@msn.com, *@outlook.com. You will also want to make sure that under Options: Exclude email addresses and domains specified in Whitelist and Personal Whitelist is enabled. These changes will minimize the email delay when using the Greylist.Once you have the priority set, you will want to make sure the IP DNS Blocklist

Note About BlocklistsBlocklists only provide a modest level of protection against snoopers — you can read all about their limitations here. For better privacy, you can use a VPN while torrenting.A blocklist is simply a list of IP addresses to block when torrenting. Typically, these lists consist of the IP addresses of known snoopers or malware providers. Most of the good BitTorrent clients support blocklists – for example, Transmission or uTorrent.Where To Find BlocklistsBitsurge BlocklistThe Bitsurge list is a list of “anti-torrent” groups. It was created for the Transmission torrent client, but it can be used with any compatible client.I-BlocklistsI-Blocklist has a good selection of blocklists, but many are now “subscriber-only” ($10 / year).The “dbl.oisd.nl” BlocklistThe list was found on Reddit. It is intended to block Ads, Mobile Ads, Phishing, Malvertising, Malware, Spyware, Ransomware, CryptoJacking.It is my take on creating/maintaining “The Best Blocklist”. You should not have to whitelist things. It’s that good.Note: This blocklist is a domain blocklist and should never be used as the only list in an adblocker that uses Adblock rules (such as uBlock Origin).Blocks ✋BlocklistDescriptionUse withDownloadMain listDomain name listPi-hole, (Blokada users; use mobile hosts version below, because of this.)1 2 3 4 5Main list (hosts-format)Identical, but prefixed with “0.0.0.0” Some software needs the list to be in this “hosts-file”-formatWARNING: Using it directly as your OS’s host file might cause problems due to its size!1 2 3 4 5Main list (ABP format)Identical, but in Adblock plus formatAdguard Home RECOMMENDED!1 2 3 4 5Mobile (wildcards)Handpicked mobile/android/iOS lists, combined with some great other lists.

(Supports: CNAME blocking / Adblock-style blocklists and my personal reason why I switched: blocks all subdomains (to blocked domains) by default!! Pi-hole needs every damn subdomain listed separately; inefficiënt, insecure!)Keep default lists enabled.
