Description:

def set_connection_ip_list(addresses=None, grant_by_default=False, server=_DEFAULT_SERVER):
    '''
    Set the IPGrant list for the SMTP virtual server.

    :param str addresses: A dictionary of IP + subnet pairs.
    :param bool grant_by_default: Whether the addresses should be a blacklist or whitelist.

    :return: A boolean representing whether the change succeeded.
