Entering the name or IP address of connecting hosts

This section provides more information about the formats that you can use to specify the hosts that may connect to the SMTP servers.

  • Host Name. You specify the FQDN of the connecting host. Only alphanumeric characters and hyphen '-' are permitted. Consecutive dots are not permitted.

    Example host names:

    server.example.com

    server-NY.example.com

  • Host name suffix. You can specify the domain name, to allow connections from all hosts in that domain.

    Example host name suffix: example.com

    This allows connections from hosts in the domain, example.com, including the host server-NY.example.com.

  • Host name pattern. Specify the allowed host names as a regular expression, using alphanumeric characters and the characters (0-9,a-z,*,[]). Other special characters and consecutive dots are not permitted.

    Example host name pattern: server[1-2]*.example.com

    This allows connections from hosts with names that match the pattern, such as server1.example.com, and server2-NY.example.com.

  • IPv4. Specify the IP address of the host using IPv4 format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn is a number from 0 to 255. Special characters other than the dots shown are not permitted. Consecutive dots are not permitted.

    Example IPv4 address: 192.168.1.2

  • IPv4 address ranges in CIDR notation. Specify a range of IPv4 addresses using the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/rr, where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IPv4 address of the network, and rr is a number from 1 to 32 that indicates the subnet mask to use to work out the permitted address range. Additional dots, forward slashes, or other special characters are not permitted.

    Example IPv4 address range in CIDR notation: 192.168.1.0/24

    This example indicates addresses in the range 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255.

  • IPv6. Specify the IP address of the host using IPv6 format nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn, where nnnn may include the hexadecimal characters (0-9,A-F,a-f). Special characters other than the colons shown are not permitted. Consecutive colons are not permitted.

    Example IPv6 address: fd9b:cd26:df9c:fb4e:0000:0000:0000:0001

  • IPv6 address ranges in CIDR notation. Specify a range of IPv6 addresses using the format nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn/rrr, where nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn is the IPv6 address of the network, and rrr is a number from 1 to 128 that indicates the subnet mask to use to work out the permitted address range. Characters used must be hexadecimal characters, colons, and a forward slash, as shown. Using two consecutive colons at the end of the IPv6 range is also permitted. Any other special characters are not permitted.

    Example IPv6 address range in CIDR notation: 2001:db8:1234::/48

    This example indicates addresses in the range 2001:db8:1234:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to 2001:db8:1234:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff.
