Allow/Deny lists overview

Feature

Allow/Deny lists — Create rules that always allow trusted sources or always block known spam sources.

How it works

Rules are applied during scoring and (where applicable) during firewall checks. This gives you deterministic control over outcomes regardless of signal noise.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Allow/Deny

Recommended setting

Recommended: Add allow rules for your team/testing IPs and block repeat offenders.

Lists provide immediate control and reduce reliance on heuristic scoring alone.

Why you need this

Admins need deterministic overrides—especially on business-critical forms and checkout.
