So I uncovered some odd behaviour today with the Blacklist located under Settings -> Security -> Blacklist. I have an entry in the Blacklist that was there from V15 when we upgraded last year to the latest build, our current build is 8747, I went to edit it today because I want to have those IPs blocked from any communication on our server. So I edit the rule and flag all the options and save. Visually on screen the extras I flagged do not change.

So I try deleteing the entry, it will not delete. I try to edit the rule and nothing changes. The IPs I have in there are 3 seperate IPs separated by a comma. If I take out all but one IP and save, the Blacklist just creates another single entry for the IP. I exported out the entire list to JSON except this entry. I deleted all the rules and everything deletes but this one rule. For the life of me I cannot delete it and I have a feeling it has to do with the IPs separted by a comma.

Where is the Blacklist stored? I checked C:\SmarterTools\SmarterMail\Service\Settings\settings.json but there is nothing in that file for the Blacklist. I do see a ip-access.bin in this folder but opening that with a text editor just shows me jibberish.

So what file are the entries I place in the Blacklist stored? That way I can just delete the bad entry and then re-import my exported list. This is driving me nuts right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
