Use the Blocked Addresses tab on the IP Block List properties to manage a list of specific IP addresses for which e-mail messages are always blocked by the Connection Filter agent. If an originating IP address matches an IP address or IP address range on the IP Block list, the Connection Filter agent disconnects the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) session after all RCPT TO: headers in the message are processed.
