Mail Settings

The Address Allow List setting allows a specified email address or domain for which mail should never be suppressed. For example, you own the domain "example.com," and one or more of your recipients use email@example.com addresses, by placing example.com in the Address Allow List setting, all bounces, blocks, and unsubscribes logged for that domain will be ignored and sent as if under normal sending conditions.

Settings

• Status - On or Off

• Emails/Domains - Either a single email or the domain, for which all emails belonging to this domain will be allowed.

Automatically sends a blind carbon copy (BCC) to an address for every email sent without adding that address to the header. Please note that only one email address may be entered in this field, if you wish to distribute BCCs to multiple addresses you will need to create a distribution group or use forwarding rules.

Settings

Please Note: Entering values for both Soft and Hard Bounces is not necessary. Only enter a value for the types of bounces you would like purged; empty values will be ignored.

The Event Notification setting controls webhook notifications for events, such as bounces, clicks, opens, and more. This setting allows these events to be POSTed to a URL of your choosing.

The email address specified in the Forward Spam mail setting may also be used to receive emails sent to abuse@ and postmaster@ role addresses if you have authenticated your domain.

For example, if you create a valid authenticated domain with a custom return path of sub and a root domain example and have turned on Forward Spam, any emails sent to abuse@sub.example.com or postmaster@sub.example.com will be forwarded to the email address you entered in the Forward Spam mail setting.

The Spam Checker setting, is useful when your web application allows your end users to create content that is then emailed through your SendGrid account. Since emailing user generated content is hard to monitor and can often be abused by spammers, the Spam Checker filter notifies you when emails are detected that exceed a predefined spam threshold.

We use SpamAssassin to process the spam checks for this filter. The default threshold is 5.0, but you can set this to any value between 1 and 10. You must provide a URL, so we will post the message to that URL. If a message is flagged as spam using this filter, it will automatically be dropped by our system and will not be delivered to the recipient.

Settings

• Status - On or Off

• Spam Threshold - Click Edit to change the threshold from 1-10 (see the message above)

• URL To Post Spam Messages To - Click Edit to provide an Inbound Parse URL to send spam messages to, so you can inspect them. If you don't have an Inbound Parse URL, check out Setting Up The Inbound Parse Webhook.
