Filter Limits

When creating or editing a filter and it does not save, this is probably due to the character limit.
Filters have a limit of 5000 characters

If you are adding a list of addresses or CIDR ranges to a filter, it would be best to use the Sender Lists. These do not have a character limit.

This can be found under Security Settings > Email > Sender Lists.
