Use the Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig cmdlet to modify the configuration information for IP Block list providers on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role or the Hub Transport server role installed.

Syntax

Set-IPBlockListProvidersConfig [-BypassedRecipients <MultiValuedProperty>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Enabled <$true | $false>] [-ExternalMailEnabled <$true | $false>] [-InternalMailEnabled <$true | $false>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

The IP Block list providers configuration is used by the Connection Filter agent. The Connection Filter agent acts on the IP address of the remote server that initiates the SMTP connection to determine what action, if any, to take on an incoming message.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Anti-spam features" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

BypassedRecipients

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty

The BypassedRecipients parameter specifies SMTP addresses for which the Connection Filter agent doesn't use the IP Block list providers. Valid input for the BypassedRecipients parameter is one or more SMTP addresses.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. The DomainController parameter isn't supported on the Edge Transport server role. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance.

Enabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The Enabled parameter specifies whether the use of the IP Block list providers is enabled on the computer on which you're running the command. Valid input for the Enabled parameter is $true or $false. The default setting is $true. When the Enabled parameter is set to $true, the use of the IP Block list providers is enabled on the computer on which you're running the command.

ExternalMailEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The ExternalMailEnabled parameter specifies whether all messages from connections external to the Exchange organization are evaluated using the IP Block list providers for processing. Valid input for the ExternalMailEnabled parameter is $true or $false. The default setting is $true. When the ExternalMailEnabled parameter is set to $true, all messages from connections external to the Exchange organization are passed through the Connection Filter agent for processing.

InternalMailEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The InternalMailEnabled parameter specifies whether all messages from senders internal to the Exchange organization are evaluated using the IP Block list providers for processing. Valid input for the InternalMailEnabled parameter is $true or $false. The default setting is $false. When the InternalMailEnabled parameter is set to $true, all messages from senders internal to your Exchange organization are passed through the Connection Filter agent for processing. Authenticated partner messages aren't considered internal mail.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
