Use the Add-IPBlockListProvider cmdlet to create an IP Block List provider that's used by the Connection Filter agent.

Syntax


`Add-IPBlockListProvider -LookupDomain <SmtpDomain> -Name <String> [-AnyMatch <$true \| $false>] [-BitmaskMatch <IPAddress>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Enabled <$true \| $false>] [-IPAddressesMatch <MultiValuedProperty>] [-Priority <Int32>] [-RejectionResponse <AsciiString>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example adds an IP Block List provider and sets a rejection response.

	Copy Code
Add-IPBlockListProvider -Name NewIpBlockListProvider -LookupDomain Contoso.com -RejectionResponse "Originating IP address matched to Contoso.com's IP Block List provider service"

EXAMPLE 2

This example adds an IP Block List provider and configures a bitmask return value from the provider.

	Copy Code
Add-IPBlockListProvider -Name NewIpBlockListProvider -LookupDomain Contoso.com -BitmaskMatch 127.1.0.1

Detailed Description

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 Anti-Spam and Anti-Malware Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
LookupDomain	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpDomain	The LookupDomain parameter specifies the domain name that the Connection Filter agent queries for updated IP Block List data.
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the name of the IP Block List provider service.
AnyMatch	Optional	System.Boolean	The AnyMatch parameter specifies whether the Connection Filter agent treats any IP address status code returned by the IP Block List provider service as a match. Valid input for the AnyMatch parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$false`. When the AnyMatch parameter is set to `$true`, the Connection Filter agent treats any IP address status code returned by the IP Block List provider service as a match.
BitmaskMatch	Optional	System.Net.IPAddress	The BitmaskMatch parameter specifies the IP address status code bit mask. When you configure the BitmaskMatch parameter to use an IP address status code, the Connection Filter agent acts only on messages that match the IP address status code returned by the IP Block List provider service.
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.
Enabled	Optional	System.Boolean	The Enabled parameter specifies whether the Connection Filter agent queries this IP Block List provider service according to the priority set for this IP Block List provider configuration. Valid input for the Enabled parameter is `$true` or `$false`. The default setting is `$true`. When the Enabled parameter is set to `$true`, the Connection Filter agent queries the IP Block List provider service according to the priority set for this IP Block List provider configuration.
IPAddressesMatch	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty	The IPAddressesMatch parameter specifies an IP address status code that the Connection Filter agent uses to compare to the IP address status code returned by the IP Block List provider service. When the IPAddressesMatch parameter is configured to use an IP address, the Connection Filter agent acts only on messages that match the same IP address status code returned by the IP Block List provider service.
Priority	Optional	System.Int32	The Priority parameter specifies the order that the Connection Filter agent queries the IP Block List provider services that you have configured. By default, every time that you add a new IP Block List provider, the entry is assigned a priority of N+1, where N is the number of IP Block List provider services that you have configured. If you set the Priority parameter to a value that's the same as another IP Block List provider service, the priority of the IP Block List provider that you add first is incremented by 1.
RejectionResponse	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.AsciiString	The RejectionResponse parameter specifies a string. Enter the message body that you want delivered in the SMTP session to senders whose messages are blocked by the Connection Filter agent when an IP Block List provider service matches the sender's IP address. We recommend that you specify the IP Block List provider service in the response so that legitimate senders can contact the IP Block List provider service. The argument can't exceed 240 characters. When you pass an argument, you must enclose the RejectionResponse parameter in quotation marks (") if the phrase contains spaces, for example, `"Originating IP address matched to the Contoso.com's IP Block List provider service"`.
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.
