Managing routing filters
Use the Routing Filters panel to create, edit, or delete routing filters, or choose
the repositories associated with a routing filter.
A
routing filter checks email domains appearing in all addresses of each email.
For each domain in an email matching the
Email Domain of a routing filter, the
following occurs:
• All simple routing rules with that domain are checked against the email.
Simple routing rules matching the email are applied (routing email to
repositories associated with the rules).
• Email is routed to repository ( Repository ID ) defined for the filter—
provided the filter’s
Repository ID does not include the special value
R0000000 Catchall Repository .
This means a routing filter has two possible uses, based on which domains
appear in email addresses:
• Filtering emails before simple routing rules try to match them: only rules
with the correct email domains are tried.
• Routing emails from a specific domain to a specific repository. (In this
case, it is typically used to associate an audit repository with an email
domain.)
After filtering, each email is always checked against routing rules. This is true
regardless of the filtering result (possible routing by simple rules and/or
filter).
R0000000 Catchall Repository
The special R0000000 Catchall Repository value is an exception. A filter with this
value in the
Repository ID does not route email to the catch-all repository. It
does
not , itself, route email to any repository; rather, it serves only as a filter
before checking simple routing rules.
To create a routing filter with the special
R0000000 Catchall Repository value,
choose
Catchall Repository in the Select Repository dialog box – see below. Do this
to filter email before checking simple routing rules, without also routing email
directly to a repository based on email domain.
