Allowlisting Proofpoint solutions

IMPORTANT!
For the best experience with Hoxhunt, Proofpoint strongly recommends allowing Hoxhunt to send training emails directly to your mail server. This would allow Hoxhunt's emails to bypass Proofpoint and its link scanning, and prevent potentially skewed simulation results (auto-fails) caused by Proofpoint.
NOTE
If you decide to allowlist Hoxhunt in Proofpoint instead, please note that Proofpoint may still quarantine a small amount of Hoxhunt's training emails.

 

Please complete every step below that matches your Proofpoint setup.

1. Go to Proofpoint admin center and navigate to Email Firewall > Rules.

2. Under Rule Settings section, Set Enable to On.

3a. Enter a name of your rule to ID field, for example "HoxHunt allowlisting by IP Address".

3b. Provide a more descriptive explanation of the rule to description field, for example "This rule allows Hoxhunt phishing training emails to be received from Hoxhunt."
