Understanding Text Resources

Testing Content Dictionaries

The trace function can provide quick feedback on message filters that use the dictionary-match()

rule. See Debugging Mail Flow Using Test Messages: Trace, page 40-1 for more information. You can

also use the

quarantine() action to test filters, as in the quarantine_codenames filter example above.

Understanding Text Resources

Text resources are text templates that can be attached to messages or sent as messages. Text resources

can be one of the following types:

• Message disclaimers — Text that is added to messages. For more information, see Disclaimer

Template, page 21-12.

• Notification templates — Messages that are sent as notifications, used with the notify() and

notify-bcc() actions. For more information, see Notification Templates, page 21-20.

• Anti-virus Notification templates — Messages that are sent as notifications when a virus is found

in a message. You can create a template for a container (which appends the original message), or as

a notice that is sent without the appended message. For more information, see Anti-Virus

Notification Templates, page 21-21.

• Bounce and Encryption Failure Notification templates — Messages that are sent as notifications

when a message is bounced or message encryption fails. For more information, see Bounce and

Encryption Failure Notification Templates, page 21-24.

• Encryption Notification Templates — Messages that are sent when you configure the appliance to

encrypt outgoing email. The message notifies recipients that they have received an encrypted

message and provides instructions for reading it. For more information, see Encryption Notification

Templates, page 21-25.

You can use the CLI (

textconfig) or the GUI to manage text resources, including: adding, deleting,

editing, importing, and exporting. For information on managing text resources using the GUI, see

Overview of Text Resource Management, page 21-9.

Text resources can contain non-ASCII characters.

Note Text resources containing non-ASCII characters may or may not display properly in the CLI on your

terminal. To view and change text resources that contain non-ASCII characters, export the text resource

to a text file, edit that text file, and then import the new file back into the appliance. For more

information, see Importing and Exporting Text Resources as Text Files, page 21-8.
