Policy Alerts

This article refers to the Barracuda Message Archiver release 3.1 or higher, except where noted.

Policy Alerts are email notifications that are sent out whenever the Barracuda Message Archiver detects an

incoming message that meets the criteria of a Saved Search. This allows you to implement and monitor policies

regarding your email traffic, and identify both new and existing messages that meet the specified criteria. You can

create local auditor accounts on the Barracuda Message Archiver to negate the need to create temporary users with

special access in your corporate directory or email server.

Policy Alert Definitions

The Barracuda Message Archiver includes three built-in policy definitions that are updated as needed by Barracuda Central to meet the latest

standards, and are distributed via Energize Updates:

Personal Email - This policy scans for Personally Identifiable Information such as various formats of drivers' license numbers, credit card

numbers, etc.

Personal Info - This policy scans for foul language words.

Foul Language - This policy scans for emails sent to and from various sites known by Barracuda Networks to be non-business sites

(usually recreation and gambling sites). This policy is designed to alert the administrator when company email is being used for personal

and non-business matters.

In addition, you can use any Saved Search to create a new custom Policy Alert from the page. You can also modify existingPOLICY > Alerts

Policy Alerts from this page.
