STEP 3 - DEFINING THE RULES

Once you have defined who you want to apply policies to, plus the actions that should be taken when messages trigger filters applying to these users, you need to create the rules. Rules are defined by creating filters that set the contraints, and action to be taken, on messages that trigger one of these filters.

All messages passing through SurfControl RiskFilter - E-mail will be checked against the Global Policy filters. By default, sub-policies inherit filters from their parent policies. Sub-policies can also overwrite their parent filters to meet their own specific needs.

See Global Policy on page 79 for details on how to create and configure filters.
