Address Lists
Set up email addresses and domains lists to allow, block, apply or exclude from email routing settings.
In the Admin console at https://admin.google.com, click the Apps icon.
Select Google Workspace.
Click Gmail. Make sure not to check the box to the left; just click the service.
Select Default routing.
Click CONFIGURE or ADD ANOTHER RULE.
Under 1. Specify envelope recipients to match, choose which recipients the rule will affect:
Headers – lets you add custom headers to emails. For example, you can add a custom header matching the description you entered for the setting. This helps analyze why an email was routed in a certain way or what triggered a filter.
Adding the X-Gm-Original-To header is useful when you reroute a copy of an email, and the new recipient wants to know the original recipient’s address. The latest recipient can see the original recipient by checking the X-Gm-Original-To header box in the email.
Add X-Gm-Spam and X-Gm-Phishy headers to indicate if the email is spam or phishing. For example, these headers will look like this:
X-Gm-Spam: 0 (means that the email is not spam)
X-Gm-Spam: 1 (means that the email is spam)
Prepend custom subject allows you to add something to the beginning of emails’ subjects.
Change route allows you to re-route emails to another mail server, already added to the Hosts setting as shown here.
Change envelope recipient allows you to change the email recipient to another email address, bypassing the original recipient.
Bypass spam filter for this message approves emails for delivery automatically, regardless if Gmail’s built-in spam filter thinks they are spam.
Remove attachments from this message strips the emails of all attachments.
Add more recipients lets you BCC additional recipients.
2. If the envelope recipient matches the above, do the following, you can leave it on Modify and choose how to modify emails by checking the boxes below, or click Modify and select Reject, or Send to spam quarantine.
Modify offers the following options:
You can also set 2. If the envelope recipient matches the above, do the following to Reject message, which bounces emails caught by the routing rule and sends a delivery error which you can customize.
3. Options – choose whether the routing only affects email addresses that don’t exist in your Google Workspace, or if it affects existing addresses as well.
The first option is useful if you want to set up a catch-all or set up forwarding for an email address without creating it as a new user, alias, or group.
Click SAVE. It may take up to 24 hours for the setting to start working.
Back on the Default routing page, you can Edit, Disable or Delete existing rules completely, or click ADD ANOTHER RULE to create more Default routing rules.
You may end up having lots of them, so the Reorder open can also come in handy.
