Use the Safety tab to implement a bad word filter policy or the closed campus policy.
Bad Words
A bad word filter searches messages for specific words and prevents the delivery of messages that contain those words. If a message's subject line or body contains any of the words that are defined in the bad word filter, the message is rejected, and a non-delivery report (NDR) 550 5.7.1 that says "This message contains inappropriate language that's not permitted by the organization." is sent to the sender.
- Turn on the bad words policy
-
To turn on the bad words policy, select the check box. To turn it off, clear the check box.
- Add, edit, or remove bad words below. Use commas to separate words or phrases.
-
Enter your own words or phrases here. Separate individual words or phrases with a comma. Don't include quotation marks, even when the words or phrases contain spaces or special characters. Note When you turn the policy on or off, the words and phrases you've added here will persist, but they are only applied when the bad words policy is turned on.
