Understanding mail rule cmpnents Mail rules are built frm three types f cmpnent: Cnditins Mail rule cnditins are used t identify messages t which the rule actin shuld be applied. Cnditins cnsist f ne r mre rules that specify the parts f a message that shuld be examined. Sme rules examine message fields r headers, such as T, Frm, r Cc. Others examine message characteristics, such as the message subject, bdy, attachments, message size, and message classificatin. Mst require that yu specify a cmparisn peratr, such as equals, desn't equal, r cntains, and a value t match. T see a list f available cnditins visit Exceptins Exceptins are based n the same rules used t build mail rule cnditins. Hwever, unlike cnditins, exceptins identify messages t which the rule actins shuldn't be applied. Exceptins verride cnditins, and they prevent actins frm being applied t an message even if the message matches all cnfigured cnditins. 16

17 Administratr s guide Actins Actins are applied t messages that match the cnditins and dn't match any exceptin defined in the rule. Mail rules can invlve a wide range f actins, such as rejecting, deleting, r redirecting messages, adding additinal recipients, adding prefixes in the message subject, r inserting disclaimers and persnalized signatures in the message bdy.
