Message Rules

The rules in this chapter are for Journal traffic sources only. Equivalent rules for SMTP/Inline traffic sources can be created on the Configuration pages. See Configuration Settings for more information.

Message rules allow you to specify that some types of messages should not be remediated or scanned. You can create:

• Allow List rules

• Verdict Override rules

Allow List and Verdict Override rules are not available for businesses in No Authentication mode.
Bypass Analysis rules have been renamed and migrated to Global settings > Message bypass rules.

Create and manage your message rules from the Administration > Message Rules page.

Message bypass rules take precedence over Allow List and Verdict Override rules. If a message is affected by a rule, it is indicated in the Rule column of the Messages page. Hover your cursor over the item in the Rule column to see which rule was applied.

Rules do not automatically apply to sub-domains. Domains are matched exactly as indicated in a rule.
