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.
