7.2 Configuring User Groups

You can use MailMarshal user groups within policy groups and rules. User groups allow you to apply policy to specific users. MailMarshal uses SMTP email addresses to perform user matching. You can create and populate user groups within MailMarshal by entering email addresses manually or copying them from other Groups. You can use wildcard characters when you define groups. You can also import user groups with the Group File Import tool (see “Using the Group File Import Tool”).
