Installation manual

Add... - adds a new rule

Edit... - modifies an existing rule

Remove - removes selected rule

Clear - clears the rule counter (the Hits column)

Move up - moves selected rule up in the list

Move down - moves selected rule down in the list

Unchecking a check box (to the left of each rule name) deactivates current rule. This allows for the rule to be

reactivated again if needed.

NOTE: You can also use system variables (e.g., %PATHEXT%) when configuring Rules.

NOTE: If a new rule has been added or an existing rule has been modified, a message rescan will automatically start

using the new/modified rules.

3.1.2.1 Adding new rules

This wizard guides you through adding user-specified rules with combined conditions.

NOTE: Not all of the conditions are applicable when the message is scanned by the transport agent.

By target mailbox applies to the name of a mailbox (VSAPI)

By message recipient applies to a message sent to a specified recipient (VSAPI + TA)

By message sender applies to a message sent by a specified sender (VSAPI + TA)

By message subject applies to a message with a specified subject line (VSAPI + TA)

By message body applies to a message with specific text in the message body (VSAPI)

By attachment name applies to a message with a specific attachment name (VSAPI in Exchange 2000 and

2003, VSAPI + TA in Exchange 2007 and 2010)

By attachment size applies to a message with an attachment exceeding a defined size (VSAPI in Exchange 2000

and 2003, VSAPI + TA in Exchange 2007 and 2010)

By frequency of occurrence applies to objects (email body or attachment) where the number of occurrences

within the specified time interval exceeds the specified number (VSAPI). This is particularly useful if you are

constantly spammed with emails with the same email body or the same attachment

By attachment type applies to a message with an attachment of specified file type (actual file type is detected

by its contents, regardless of file extension) (VSAPI)

When specifying the conditions above (except the By attachment size condition), it is sufficient to fill in only part

of a phrase as long as the Match whole words option is not selected. Values are not case-sensitive, unless the

Match case option is selected. If you are using values other than alphanumerical characters, use parentheses and

quotes. You can also create conditions using the logical operators AND, OR and NOT.

NOTE: The list of available rules depends on installed version of Microsoft Exchange Server.

NOTE: Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 (VSAPI 2.0) only evaluates displayed sender/recipient name and not the

email address. Email addresses are evaluated starting with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 (VSAPI 2.5) and higher.
