URL Domain Black List

The URL Domain Black List, allows you to block messages that contain links to domain names that are embedded in HTML code.

You can manually add domain names that occur in spam as described below, or  use the antispamseeder utility to extract the domain names from spam messages.  The list of current domains in the URL Domain Black List are displayed in the DOMAIN LIST box. These domain names are stored in the url-domain-bl.txt  file, which is located in the IMail Top directory.
