Adding Sender/Recipient Conditions

Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.5.x

While creating a policy on the page Main > Policy Management > Policies > Add Policy, use the page Add Policy > Add Sender/Recipient Condition to specify the senders and recipients to which a policy applies. You can make the policy as wide-ranging as required; for example, applying it to all users, or all users receiving mail in a particular domain, or specific email addresses only.

From the section Sender/Recipient Conditions on the page Add Policy, click Add.

The Add Sender/Recipient Condition page displays.

For each sender/recipient condition, select a Sender Source and Recipient Source:

Local Address. If you select Local Address, enter the sender or recipient email addresses to use with the policy. You can use the asterisk wildcard to specify combinations, for example:

*.mycompany.com applies the policy to all users with a mycompany.com email address.

*sales@mycompany.com applies the policy to a subset of all email addresses in mycompany.com, such as us_sales@mycompany.com and uk_sales@mycompany.com.

john.doe@mycompany.com applies the policy to a specific user.

To apply the policy to all email addresses, enter an asterisk (*).

User directory. If you select User directory, select the directory source from the pull-down menu. You must set up a user directory to connect to before selecting this option. From the pull-down menu, select Add User Directory to create a new directory source.

Domain group. If you select Domain group, select the domain source from the pull-down menu of existing domain groups or add a new domain group by selecting Add Domain Group.

Click OK.

The Add or Edit Policy page displays to finish editing or creating a policy. See Adding or editing a policy.
