The Attachment is "true file type" criteria allows you to create rules that take actions on messages based on the true file type of attachments a message contains.

Note:

Where the Attachment is "name or extension" criteria makes decisions based on just filenames and/or extensions, the Attachment is "true file type" criteria scans the headers of the files themselves for the identifying signatures.

  1. On the Criteria screen, select Advanced to display the advanced criteria.
  2. Select the Attachment is "true file type" criteria.
