Using Notepad or a similar text editor, you can create data, offline, for exclusion lists, inclusion lists, and block lists, and then import the data into a filter list in the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server Administrator Console. You can also export a list created on one Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server (FPE) server to a local file, and then import the list on another FPE server.
 Note: |
|---|
| FPE can only import lists that are UTF-16 or ANSI files. Other Unicode types will not be properly imported. |
Before importing items into a filter list, you must first create the data to be imported and save it as a text (.txt) file. Be sure to place each filter item on its own line in the file.
To import items into a filter list-
Open the appropriate work pane and select the list into which you are importing data.
-
Open the appropriate “Configure List” dialog box (for example, Configure Allow/Block Lists), and then click Import.
-
In the Windows file Explorer, navigate to the text file you created, select the file, and then click Open.
The items in the file are imported into the filter list.
-
Click OK to exit the dialog box, and then click Save.
