Parameters
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
LookupDomain |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpDomain |
The domain name that the Connection Filter agent queries for updated IP Block List data |
Name |
Required |
System.String |
The name of the IP Block List provider service |
AnyMatch |
Optional |
System.Boolean |
Valid input for the Enabled parameter is
|
BitmaskMatch |
Optional |
System.Net.IPAddress |
When you configure the BitmaskMatch parameter to use an IP address, the Connection Filter agent acts only on messages that match the IP Address status code that is returned by the IP Block List provider service. |
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm parameter 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 parameter. |
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory directory service, include the DomainController parameter on the command. The DomainController parameter is not supported on computers that have the Edge Transport server role installed. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the local ADAM instance. |
Enabled |
Optional |
System.Boolean |
Valid input for the Enabled parameter is
|
IPAddressesMatch |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty |
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 that is returned by the IP Block List provider service. |
Priority |
Optional |
System.Int32 |
Set the Priority parameter to configure 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 is 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 takes 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 cannot exceed 240 characters.
When you pass an argument, you must enclose the
RejectionResponse parameter in double quotation marks if the
phrase contains spaces as follows, for example: |
TemplateInstance |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.PSObject |
When an existing object is supplied to this parameter, the command uses that object's configuration to create an exact duplicate of the object on a local or target server. |
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, 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 parameter. |
Detailed Description
The IP Block List provider configuration is used by the Connection Filter agent.
The Name parameter and the LookupDomain parameter are required. If you do not pass the required parameters, the Exchange Management Shell prompts you for them.
To run the Add-IPBlockListProvider cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
- Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators
group for the target server
To run the Add-IPBlockListProvider cmdlet on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
