Block non-VIPRE Email Sources

Blocking additional sources of email allows the VIPRE product to protect you as intended; if other sources of email are allowed into your network, that defeats the purpose of protecting your email with VIPRE.

Select the appropriate option below for details on how to block non-VIPRE sources.

On-Premises

After email is flowing through VIPRE and no other solution, we highly recommend locking down your mail server to only accept mail from VIPRE.

By locking down your server to accept only port 25 connections from the VIPRE IP range, you ensure all inbound mail must be filtered through VIPRE before reaching your server. Blocking additional sources of email allows the VIPRE product to protect you as intended; if other sources of email are allowed into your network, that defeats the purpose of protecting your email with VIPRE.
