Follow these instructions to apply content filtering to your domain (administrative accounts only):
- Click on the More drop-down near the top.
- Click the Domain Settings option.
- Click on the Content Filtering tab on the left.
- Select New to create a new filter:
- Name - The friendly name chosen to describe the rule.
- Order - Content filters are executed in the order in which they appear. In addition, when a content filter gets triggered and performs an action on a message, no other content filtering is performed on that message. In this field, enter the position number for your filter. If a filter already exists in the position number that was entered, the filter currently being edited will override that position and existing filters will adjust accordingly.
- Match Type - Because multiple conditions can be configured per content filter, SmarterMail provides the option to require ALL conditions to be met or only ONE of the conditions to be met in order for the rule's action to be triggered. Select the appropriate option from this list.
- Enable wildcards in search strings (* and ?) - Toggle the slider to the right to enable wildcard functionality. Wildcards can be used to replace a specific word, phrase or character, where a question mark (?) represents a single character and an asterisk (*) represents any text. For example, if you wanted to block sales01@domain.com, sales02@domain.com and sales03@domain.com, you could enter sales??@domain.com. If you wanted to block all sales addresses, you could enter sales* instead.
- Click on the + New Condition option and choose a condition from the drop down. Depending on what option you choose, you will have different options to go through. Complete your desired condition and click Save.
- Click on the + New Action option and choose what action will be performed for this condition.
- Click Save in the upper left to save this content filtering.
