The virus policy, spam policy, Correlated Intelligence policy, content filtering policy and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy screens all show a list of the currently defined policy rules and their status. From each screen, you can add a new policy rule and query, reorder, edit, copy, or delete existing policy rules.
Note
Note
If a policy rule applies to multiple domains and your account only has permission to manage a part of these domains, the policy rule is only visible. You cannot reorder, edit, copy, or delete the policy rule.
The policy screens under Inbound Protection and Outbound Protection are technically separate and can be managed independently.
The policy rules are displayed in a table, sorted by the order in which the policy rules were created by default.
