If you're utilizing SpamAssassin's spam filtering, you can whitelist KnowBe4 to allow our simulated phishing test emails and training notifications through to your end users.

Although there is typically not an interface for SpamAssassin, you can edit your custom SpamAssassin config file to add rules allowing KnowBe4's emails through–based on the header and IP address of the phishing tests.

The instructions below are for a third-party software. If you run into issues whitelisting KnowBe4 in SpamAssassin, we recommend reaching out to SpamAssassin for specific instructions. You can also contact our support team whenever you need assistance.

Below you can see the rules you'll want to add. Please make sure to substitute the text in red with our IP addresses. For the most up-to-date list of our IP addresses, please see this article.
