  • 1.  Whitelist email domain names

    Posted Tue March 05, 2024 06:35 AM

    Hi all, i know we can use the Whitelist email domain names to restrict email outputs to a domain.

    For example,  I have set this to GOSALES.CO.UK. This works perfectly and Cognos will now only send email out to an address in the GOSALES.CO.UK domain.

    Is it possible to use pattern matching in this field? We now want to add the ability for cognos to email to MS teams channels. Every MS Team channel has an email address so that it can be emailed to. A typical email address looks like 12xxyyx.gosales.co.uk@uk.teams.ms.

    Obviously I could add the domain uk.teams.ms to our whitelist, but that means any of our cognos users could email any ms team channel, not just the ones belonging to our company.

    I want to be able to limit the email white list to a pattern, ie *.gosales.co.uk@uk.teams.ms

    Does anyone know how to use a pattern in the whitelist? If this can't be done then it's such a shame, as its a great feature. I can't imagine coding for a pattern would have been much more hard work than coding for just a domain.
