Restrict messages to authorized addresses or domains - G Suite Administrator Help You can allow email messages to be sent to and received from specific addresses or domains that you authorize. By default, users with Gmail accounts at your domain can exchange messages with any other email address. However, in some cases, you might want to restrict the addresses your users can exchange messages with. For example, a school might want to allow its students to exchange messages with the faculty and other students, but not with people outside of the school. While users receive only authenticated messages from listed domains, users who attempt to send messages to a domain not listed will see a message that specifies a policy prohibiting messages to that address, confirming that the message is unsent. Messages sent from unlisted domains—or messages from listed domains that can't be verified using DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) or Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records—are returned to the sender with a message about the policy.
