Use the Shell to enable or disable connection filtering

To completely enable or disable connection filtering, you enable or disable the Connection Filtering agent. The change takes effect after you restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport service. When you restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport service on an Edge Transport server, mail flow on the server is temporarily interrupted.

To disable connection filtering, run the following command:

Disable-TransportAgent "Connection Filtering Agent"

To enable connection filtering, run the following command:

Enable-TransportAgent "Connection Filtering Agent"

To make the change take effect, restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport service by running the following command:

Restart-Service MSExchangeTransport

How do you know you successfully enabled or disabled connection filtering?

To verify that you successfully enabled or disabled connection filtering, run the following command:

Get-TransportAgent "Connection Filtering Agent" | Format-List Enabled

IP Block list procedures

These procedures apply to the IP Block list that you manually configure. They don't apply to IP Block List providers.

Use the IPBlockListConfig cmdlets to view and configure how connection filtering uses the IP Block list. Use the IPBlockListEntry cmdlets to view and configure the IP addresses in the IP Block list.

Use the Shell to view the configuration of the IP Block list

To view the configuration of the IP Block list, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListConfig | Format-List *Enabled,*Response

Use the Shell to enable or disable the IP Block list

To disable the IP Block list, run the following command:

Set-IPBlockListConfig -Enabled $false

To enable the IP Block list, run the following command:

Set-IPBlockListConfig -Enabled $true

How do you know you successfully enabled or disabled the IP Block list?

To verify that you successfully enabled or disabled the IP Block list, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListConfig | Format-List Enabled

Use the Shell to configure the IP Block list

To configure the IP Block list, use the following syntax:

Set-IPBlockListConfig [-ExternalMailEnabled <$true | $false>] [-InternalMailEnabled <$true | $false> -MachineEntryRejectionResponse "<Custom response text>"] [-StaticEntryRejectionResponse "<Custom response text>"]

This example configures the IP Block list with the settings as follows:

  • The IP Block list filters incoming connections from internal and external mail servers. By default, connections are filtered from external mail servers only (ExternalMailEnabled is set to $true, and InternalMailEnabled is set to $false). Nonauthenticated connections and authenticated connections from external partners are considered external.

  • Connections filtered by automatic entries from the sender reputation feature of the Protocol Analysis agent: Use the response text, "Connection from IP address {0} was rejected by sender reputation."

  • Connections filtered by manual entries: Use the response text, "Connection from IP address {0} was rejected by connection filtering."

Set-IPBlockListConfig -InternalMailEnabled $true -MachineEntryRejectionResponse "Connection from IP address {0} was rejected by sender reputation." -StaticEntryRejectionResponse "Connection from IP address {0} was rejected by connection filtering."

How do you know you successfully configured the IP Block list?

To verify that you successfully configured the IP Block list, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListConfig | Format-List *MailEnabled,*Response

Use the Shell to view IP Block list entries

To view all IP Block list entries, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListEntry

Each IP Block list entry is identified by an integer value. The identity integer is assigned in ascending order when you add entries to the IP Block list and the IP Allow list.

To view a specific IP Block list entry, use the following syntax:

Get-IPBlockListEntry <-Identity IdentityInteger | -IPAddress IPAddress>

For example, to view the IP Block list entry that contains the IP address 192.168.1.13, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListEntry -IPAddress 192.168.1.13

Note

When you use the IPAddress parameter, the resulting IP Block list entry can be an individual IP address, an IP address range, or a Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) IP. To use the Identity parameter, you specify the integer value that's assigned to the IP Block list entry.

Use the Shell to add IP Block list entries

To add IP Block list entries, use the following syntax:

Add-IPBlockListEntry <-IPAddress IPAddress | -IPRange IP range or CIDR IP> [-ExpirationTime <DateTime>] [-comment "<Descriptive Comment>"]

The following example adds the IP Block list entry for the IP address range 192.168.1.10 through 192.168.1.15 and configures the IP Block list entry to expire on July 4, 2014 at 15:00.

Add-IPBlockListEntry -IPRange 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.15 -ExpirationTime "7/4/2014 15:00"

How do you know you successfully added an IP Block list entry?

To verify that you successfully added an IP Block list entry, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListEntry

Use the Shell to remove IP Block list entries

To remove IP Block list entries, use the following syntax:

Remove-IPBlockListEntry <IdentityInteger>

The following example removes the IP Block list entry that has the Identity value 3.

Remove-IPBlockListEntry 3

The following example removes the IP Block list entry that contains the IP address 192.168.1.12 without using the Identity integer value. The IP Block list entry can be an individual IP address or an IP address range.

Get-IPBlockListEntry -IPAddress 192.168.1.12 | Remove-IPBlockListEntry

How do you know you successfully removed an IP Block list entry?

To verify that you successfully removed an IP Block list entry, run the following command:

Get-IPBlockListEntry

IP Block List provider procedures

These procedures apply to IP Block List providers. They don't apply to the IP Block list.

Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig [-BypassedRecipients <recipient1,recipient2...>] [-ExternalMailEnabled <$true | $false>] [-InternalMailEnabled <$true | $false>]

The following example configures all IP Block List providers with the following settings:

  • IP Block List providers filter incoming connections from internal and external mail servers. By default, connections are filtered from external mail servers only (ExternalMailEnabled is set to $true, and InternalMailEnabled is set to $false). Nonauthenticated connections and authenticated connections from external partners are considered external.

  • Messages sent to the internal recipients chris@fabrikam.com and michelle@fabrikam.com are excluded from filtering by IP Block List providers. If you want to add recipients to the list without affecting existing recipients, use the syntax, @{Add="<recipient1>","<recipient2>"...}.

Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig -BypassedRecipients chris@fabrikam.com,michelle@fabrikam.com -InternalMailEnabled $true

For more information, see Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig.
