Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.5.x
Use the page Main > Policy Management > Policies to create a new inbound, outbound, or internal policy.
1.
From the section Inbound, Outbound, or Internal on the page Main > Policy Management > Policies, click Add.
The Add Policy page displays.
2.
In the text field Policy name, 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.
3.
In the text field Description, enter a clear and concise description of the policy.
The special character recommendations that apply to policy names also apply to descriptions.
4.
From Status, select a status of Enabled or Disabled for your policy.
5.
From the pull-down menu Order, define the order in which this policy is applied.
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 one place in the list.
6.
From the section Sender/Recipient Conditions, define the 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 one sender/recipient condition. A policy that does not contain a sender/recipient condition will not be applied.
7.
From the section Rules, edit the available rules to tailor the filters and actions to this policy.
Click a rule name, and then see Editing rules.
8.
Click OK.
The policy settings are saved.
