MailEnable Version1 standard how to block an IP address

Running Windows server with MailEnable Standard Version1 - and I need to block 1 IP address - as they are trying to create email accounts.

Where do I block an IP at global level?

You might want to also block them at the firewall level

Current stuff - does that mean they are actually sending mail out through server?

Quick and very helpful.

Glad I could help!

Be aware that the IP could be a bsuiness or school, and this have many users behind it. Either way, it will help you narrow down a pesky user and it will help you take action accordingly.
