Allowlisting Cisco IronPort

To allowlist in Cisco IronPort, follow the steps below.

Skipping Outbreak Filter Scanning

The instructions above for allowlisting Cisco IronPort do not prevent IronPort's Outbreak Filter from scanning emails from our IPs or hostnames.

If you are experiencing issues with our emails being quarantined, you may also need to set our IPs to bypass this filter.

To skip Outbreak Filter Scanning, follow these steps:

  1. From your Cisco IronPort admin console, navigate to the 'Mail Policies' tab.
  2. Under the 'Message Modification' section, enter our IP addresses in the 'Bypass Domain Scanning' table. 
  3. Click Submit, followed by Commit Changes.
