Greylisting mode
Messages from unknown senders are temporarily rejected on first sending and only accepted on the second sending (repeated transmission attempt by the SMTP server).

- All: Messages from all senders go through the procedure in accordance with the greylisting principle unless there is an entry for the sender in a whitelist or greylist whitelist.
- Blacklisted: Only blacklisted senders go through the procedure in accordance with the greylisting principle unless there is an entry for the sender in a whitelist or greylist whitelist.
- Disabled: Disable check.
Block No-PTR
Mail is rejected if the sender’s IP address has no PTR.
