6.3 Understanding Rules

MailMarshal Rules define filtering policy in detail. Rules include three basic sections: User Matching, Conditions, and Actions. User matching and scheduling also depend on the definition of the parent Policy Group.

6.3.1 Creating Rules

You can create as many rules as you need to implement your content security policy.

To create a rule:
