This connector is used to block and unblock **domains**, **email addresses**, and **IP addresses** in Swimlane Turbine.

## Prerequisites

A Server **URL**, **Username** and **password** is  required to authenticate **Symantec Messaging Gateway** connector.

## Capabilities

This Connector provides the following capabilities:

- Block Domain
- Block Email
- Block IP

## Notes

- This integration was integrated and tested with Symantec Messaging Gateway v10.6.4.

## Limitations

- Symantec Messaging Gateway does not have a REST API, therefore the integration parses HTML response using the Beautiful Soup package. It also sends and gets data through it.
- The integration adds and removes IoCs to the relevant default Bad Sender lists, and not custom ones.
