Creating a policy

Email Security Manager Help | Email Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

Use the Main > Policy Management > Policies page to create a new inbound, outbound, or internal policy.

1.	Click Add to open the Add Policy page and enter a unique Policy name. The policy name must be between 4 and 50 characters long. Use of the following special characters in the policy name is not recommended:

* < > { } ~ ! $ % & @ # . " | \ & + = ? / ; : ,

Policy names can include spaces, dashes, and apostrophes.

2.	Enter a clear and concise Description of the policy.

The special character recommendations that apply to policy names also apply to descriptions.

3.	Define the order in which this policy is applied in the Order field.

By default the new policy is placed at the top of the list. You cannot have multiple policies with the same order number. If you select a number that is already in use, the policy that currently has that number and all those below it move down 1 place in the list.

4.	Define your Sender/Recipient Conditions.

By default, each new policy contains a sender/recipient condition that applies the policy to all email senders and recipients. To add more conditions click Add, and then see Adding Sender/Recipient Conditions.


	Note You must define at least 1 sender/recipient condition. A policy that does not contain a sender/recipient condition will not be applied.

5.	Edit the available Rules to tailor the filters and actions to this policy. Click a rule name, and then see Editing rules.

6.	Click OK to save your policy.
