Hey Mike!

The whitelist and blacklist entries are stored in the ip-access.sbin file located at C:\Program Files (x86)\SmarterTools\SmarterMail\Service\Settings by default.

As for your 2nd question about converting the .xml to .json, SmarterTools may have a way to do that, but I'm personally not sure.

Hope this helps :)

I think you can convert the XML based blacklist by doing a mock-upgrade of that XML data to the latest version. So you'd just need to set up a test server, stage the existing configuration files from the previous version, then upgrade it to our latest release. Post-upgrade; you can then go into Settings>Security>Blacklist and export that list as a JSON which you can import into other SmarterMail servers. 

Thanks for your response Linda.  I thought it might be the ip-access.sbin file, but I was confused because in the "Regularly Back Up SmarterMail Using RoboCopy" knowledge base article ==> https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2735/regularly-back-up-smartermail-using-robocopy.aspx

it did not mention backing up the *.sbin files.  I will add this file extension to my backup script.

Thanks Kyle.  I did not think to upgrade it on a test server and then use the file.  I will try that.
