- Additional Allow List Entry Options

...

Allow and Block List Overhaul

The core concepts of the Allow and Block List are remaining the same where an admin chooses an appropriate threat category and criteria to block or allow a particular message. However, there have been a few new additions added to provide more targeted entries when appropriate.

DMARC Authentication

Allow list entries can have “only if passing DMARC” and Block list entries can have an “only if failing DMARC” option.

Allow list entries now prompt you and pre-check “Apply only to messages that pass DMARC authentication (safer option)” when applying a new Allow Entry. This option gives admins more control in which messages apply to the new entries.

...

Given the entry above, with DMARC authentication check, we have two messages below that would be evaluated against it on future deliveries. The first one has an SPF pass for securitytides.com and the second one has no authentication passes. In the future, due to the new allow list entry, the top message, with authentication will not be marked as Spam Content, while the second one will because it has no authentication.

...

On the Block Listing side, admins now have the option to “Apply only to messages that fail DMARC authentication (useful for targeting Spoofing).” Think of this as an internal INKY DMARC failure control where if you receive a spoofed email from a particular sender, domain, or IP address you can have it set block if necessary.

For example, the below entry for google.com would apply the Phishing Content banner to all messages with a FROM header google.combut contains no passing authentication. Normally, individual companies are expected to control their DMARC records to perform this type delivery but having the flexibility within INKY gives you more control.

Match Subdomains

When adding an Allow Entry against a specific domain admins are now prompted with an option to cover all subdomains for the given domain. The below example shows the option to “Never warn about Spam Content for mail from domain securitytides.com (and subdomains).”

You’ll also be able to add subdomain matching entries against domains added directly from https://app.inkyphishfence.com/settings/allow-list, there are two new additional options: “Blocked Sender Location” and “Do not warn about Any Threats”. You can now allow these two threat categories at any point using the Add new entry option.

Note

Using the “Do not warn about Any Threats” is a blanket allow option that will let any message that matches the criteria set pass through INKY. It should be used for very specific purposes.

We’ve also restricted this option to Super Admin only for the time being.

- Bug Fixes

...

Fixed bug in custom dashboard that ignored set filter mode when determining total message count

...

Fix teamid filter bug that would ignore user input while the initial team id list was loading

...

-list pages you’ll now see an Alert column indicating if an entry added to either list is too permissive or restrictive.

For example, the below entry is an Allow List for First-Time Sender that has a “None” criteria meaning it will match on every new message received and never allow another First-Time Sender threat category. With First-Time Sender completely disabled this would be seen as a very permissive allow list entry that these new warnings are meant to highlight to admins.
