Number of attachments, Form, Recipient count, or Any recipient.

Note To create a rule that acts on all messages deposited in MAIL.BOX, choose AllDocuments.

Logical operator or qualifier Specifies how the Router evaluates the content of the target field. Choose one of thefollowing:

contains (for text field values) does not contain (for text field values) is is not is less than (for numeric field values) is greater than (for numeric field values)

For example, if you selected the message item Attachment Name, selecting thequalifier "is" defines a rule that acts on all messages having an attached file with aname that exactly matches the name you specify.

Value to check inmessage item

Specifies the content to search for in the target message item.

For example, if the target message item is Attachment Name and the qualifier is"contains," enter .VBS to create a rule that acts on all messages having an attachedfile with a name containing the string .VBS, including, LOVE-LETTER.VBS,CLICK-THIS.VBS.TXT, and MY.VBS.CARD.EXE.

Text fields do not support wildcard values, such as the asterisk character (*).To specify a search string for a target field, use the "contains" operator andenter the search string in the accompanying text field. For example, as in the

preceding example, to search for an attached file with a name that contains

the string .VBS, create the condition "Attachment Name contains .VBS," not"Attachment Name is *.VBS." Search string text is not case sensitive.

When indicating numeric values, always enter a numeral, rather than its textequivalent (that is, enter 2, not two).

8. Click Add. The Rules tab displays the new rule.

9. (Optional) Modify the condition by doing the following:

Add more conditions, by selecting Condition, selecting "AND" or "OR," andrepeat Steps 7 and 8 for each new condition.

Add an exception by selecting Exception and repeating Steps 7 through 9 for each exception. You can add only one exception to a condition statement.

10. In the Specify Actions section specify the action to perform when a message arrives that matches thecondition statement, and click Add Action. You can specify one action per rule.

The following actions are available:

To save the rule but wait before putting it into effect, click the Off radio button at the top of thedialog box, and then click OK.

12. (Optional) After you create several rules, you can rearrange them to indicate their relative priority. Theserver executes each rule in turn, beginning with the rule at the top of the list. To change the position of a

rule, select it and click Move Up or Move Down. Place rules with security implications higher in the list toensure that the server processes them before other rules.

13. Click Save & Close.

14. The change takes affect after the next Router configuration update. To put the new setting into effectimmediately, reload the routing configuration.

How mail rules handle encrypted messages

If MAIL.BOX receives an encrypted message (Notes encrypted, S/MIME, PGP, and so forth), the server mail rules process any rule conditions that are based on unencrypted information in the message envelope,

such as the sender, importance, and recipients, but do not process conditions based on the encrypted portionof the message body. Most rule conditions are based on information in the message envelope. The server does not log instances in which rules are unable to process a message.

Specifying the message form in a condition

You can specify which types of messages a rule acts on by specifying the message form type in the rulecondition. When evaluating the form type, the server checks the Notes message form used (the Form itemdisplayed in the Document properties); it does not use form information defined in MIME items in themessage. All messages deposited in MAIL.BOX are rendered as Notes documents, including inboundInternet messages in native MIME format. By default, messages received over SMTP use the Memo form,except for SMTP Nondelivery reports, which Domino renders using the NonDelivery Report form.Common Notes form names include:

Appointment Delivery Report Memo NonDelivery Report Notice Reply Return Receipt Trace Report
