GLOBAL POLICY
RiskFilter provides a global filtering Policy Manager. With this you can define filters, and the actions to be
taken when these filters are triggered. Policy and filter configuration is carried out in the Policy Manager
tab.
Figure 3 - 13 The Policy Manager tab
The Global Policy Filters screen is where you create and configure the filters that will be used with the
global policy and any subsequent policies you create. It enables you to add new filters or edit the filters
supplied with the product.
CREATING A NEW SUB-POLICY
Creation and configuration of sub-policies begins in the Global Policy screen. This screen enables you
create new policies as well as showing any sub-policies that you already have created.
Figure 3 - 14 The Global Policy screen
The policy module of RiskFilter supports infinite policy recursion, i.e., the global policy can include
multilevel sub-policies. You can define the corresponding sub-policies according to the different mail
routing paths. By default, each level of a sub-policy will inherit the filters enabled by its parent policy
(previous level policy). You can modify a sub-policy filter so that it can overwrite the filter defined by its
parent policy.
