Excellent.   Thank you.    I got it working for what I needed.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Sonicwall TZ215 that we have &quot;clamped&quot; down fairly tight. &nbsp; In the Content Filter policy URL list for forbidden categories we have # 30 EMail checked and prefer to leave it that way.<br />
However one of our vendors is now using a firm for sending out their monthly updates and it is being blocked as forbidden category-Email<br />
I have tried several things to exclude it but I guess I am not doing it correctly....<br />
<br />
I have tried putting it in allowed domain in the custom list of the policy. &nbsp; I tried using the blocked IP to exclude. &nbsp;I tried to set up a new &quot;Compliance&quot; group and add users to that group with the forbidden category - Email, Not checked. &nbsp; (Not sure how to make it apply ahead of the default policy)<br />
<br />
Can someone maybe provide some &quot;step by step&quot; directions on how I can get this to be an OK site?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
