Add... - adds a new rule
Edit... - modifies an existing rule
Remove - removes a selected rule
Clear - clears the rule counter (the Number column)
Move up - moves a selected rule up in the list
Move down - moves a 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)
By attachment size applies to a message with an attachment exceeding a defined size (VSAPI)
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 + TA). This is particularly useful if you are
constantly spammed with emails with the same email body or the same attachment.
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.
Examples of entering conditions:
By target mailbox:
smith
By email sender:
