Important:
- The User Filters subcategory, in particular, gives you access to the rules defined by the user for this account using the WebMail interface.
- Editing these rules will actually edit the user-defined filters, and the changes will be seen by the user in the WebMail interface. Access to these rules has been introduced in order to allow the administrator to correct potential problems in user-generated rules through shared access.
Incoming Messages Rules
To configure a new message rule hit the Add Message Rule button and then fill in the specific parameters in the new sub-page, New Message Rule. Each message rule has an Enabled/Disabled status displayed, the action displayed by the button next to it is the opposite of the status. Each rule can be deleted or further configured using the Delete and Edit buttons.
To set the order in which defined rules should apply use their corresponding up and down arrows available under the Priority section.
Important:
- The message rules below will run after any existing Server level rules and Domain level rules (common actions will be overridden).
General Settings of the New Message Rule
Use the text box under General Settings in order to specify the name of the new rule, then enable the new rule by checking the box in front of the option called Enable this incoming rule.
New Message Rule Conditions
In the Matches section first decide the incoming messages for which you want the rule to apply. Next, choose the conditions you want to apply to those messages.
Use the drop-down menu to select the type of the new condition. Available options include setting conditions relative to the subject, sender, receiver, Cc, To or Cc, size of the email, as well as a customization option accessible by clicking on Custom. To delete one of the newly-added criteria hit its corresponding trash-bin shaped button. New message rules can be set to match all or just part of the specified conditions according to your choice.
New Message Rule Actions
By editing the Actions section you can decide what you want to do with the messages that match the above conditions. Use the drop-down menu to specify the actions corresponding to the mail message i.e. moving, copying, deleting, or redirecting it to a certain email address etc.
To add a new action click on the Add action button and then fill in all the corresponding details in the newly-displayed menus. To delete an action hit the trash-bin shaped like button displayed on the right hand of the action in question.
When you are done configuring these parameters, remember to hit the Save Configuration button to preserve your changes.
