Syntax

Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig
   [-BypassedRecipients <MultiValuedProperty>]
   [-Confirm]

Description

On Edge Transport servers, IP Block list providers are used by the Connection Filtering agent. 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-IPBlockListProvidersConfig -InternalMailEnabled $true -BypassedRecipients kweku@contoso.com

This example configures connection filtering to use IP Block list providers on messages that come from internal connections, but bypasses filtering for email messages sent to kweku@contoso.com.

Example 2

Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig -BypassedRecipients @{Add="chris@contoso.com","michelle@contoso.com"; Remove="laura@contoso.com","julia@contoso.com"}

This example makes the following changes to the list of bypassed recipients:

  • Adds the values chris@contoso.com and michelle@contoso.com
  • Removes the values laura@contoso.com and julia@contoso.com

Parameters

-BypassedRecipients

The BypassedRecipients parameter specifies the email addresses of internal recipients that are exempted from filtering by IP Block list providers.

To enter multiple values and overwrite any existing entries, use the following syntax: Value1,Value2,...ValueN. If the values contain spaces or otherwise require quotation marks, use the following syntax: "Value1","Value2",..."ValueN".

To add or remove one or more values without affecting any existing entries, use the following syntax: @{Add="Value1","Value2"...; Remove="Value3","Value4"...}.

Type:MultiValuedProperty
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-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.

Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Enabled

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

Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False

-ExternalMailEnabled

The ExternalMailEnabled parameter specifies whether messages from connections outside of the Exchange organization are evaluated by IP Block list providers. Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. The default value is $true. By default, messages from external connections are evaluated by IP Bock list providers.

Type:Boolean

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-InternalMailEnabled

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

Type:Boolean
