Länder blockieren

The country block is one of our most powerful, yet most underutilized blocklisting feature we offer. MX Guarddog makes it easy to block email originating from any country. Lets take a look at a couple of situations where this powerful blocklisting feature can be used.

Karl, der Klempner

country block Denken Sie an Karl, er ist ein Klempner, der in Absteinach in Hessen arbeitet - mit einer Bevölkerungszahl von 2.370 Menschen! Er besorgt seine Vorräte aus der nächstgelegenen Stadt, seine Familie lebt innerhalb des Bundeslandes und er hat sein Konto bei einer lokalen Bank in seinem Ort. Im Grunde ist er ein ortsansässiger Typ ohne internationale Verbindungen. Da alle seine E-Mails aus Deutschland kommen, kann er einfach alle E-Mails blockieren, die aus China, Indien oder Zimbabwe kommen. Falls eine Mail aus einem dieser Länder kommt, handelt es sich um Spam. Genau genommen kann Karl im Grunde alle Länder außer Deutschland blockieren und somit das Risiko von Spam in seinem Postfach, der an MX Guarddog vorbeirutscht, bedeutend reduzieren.

Lars The Programmer

Lars is a computer programmer living and working in Berlin Germany, his sister lives in Brazil. His company is very tech savy, serving customers all over Europe. His company often gets emails from major IT companies in the USA and Canada.

Lars is having a major problem with spam originating from African countries, especially spam from Nigeria. Lars can safely block mail from Nigeria and other countries he does not expect any mail from - including Brazil.

But wait, if he blocks mail from Brazil how will his sister be able to reach him via email? Once blocked MX Guarddog will quarantine all mail coming from Brazil. Since Lars communicates regularly with his sister he has added his sister to his personal whitelist. The whitelist always takes priority over any blocklist, including the country blocklist. Lars will safely get email from his sister in Brazil but continue to block any other email originating from Brazil.

Und Sie?

If your organization has exposure to a limited number of countries you can safely use the country blocklist to place incoming mail from blocklisted countries into quarantine.

All email we stop will be placed into quarantine where you can review, release and whitelist any messages you require.

Accessing Country Blocklisting

All postmasters can access the country blocklist from the blocklisting filters page. You can also jump directly to the country blocklist tab and start selecting any country you don't want to receive mail from.
