Outbound Filtering Options

Depending on how aggressively you want to filter outgoing email, you can configure how messages in each of the filtering categories are handled.

Note:If you are using the hosting service, the following filters do not allow you to select Allow or Markup. This is to help protect IPs from being blacklisted unintentionally.

•

Virus

•

Phishing

•

Adult Spam

•

Spam

•

The ability to categorize mail based on message content

To specify message handling:

Manage >> Outbound IPs >> {Outbound IP}

Select how blocked messages will be handled: you can put them in the system quarantine, or permanently discard them. See Blocked Messages for details.

For each category, select how it will be handled.

Action	Description
Allow	Messages pass directly to the mailbox without a tag.
BCC	Messages are sent via BCC to one or more recipients. Separate multiple email addresses with a comma.
Special Routing	Messages are routed according to the instructions you set up in the Special Routing section below. See Special Routing for details.
Attach Encrypted	If your organization has licensed this feature, messages can be sent as encrypted attachments. The text of the accompanying message instructs the recipient to log in to the secure server to decrypt and view the content of the attached message.
Markup	Messages are forwarded to the mailbox with a subject tag. Subject tags can be up to 20 characters. They are prepended to the subject line of the email message to alert you that it has been flagged as suspicious. Note: GoSecure recommends enclosing the text with brackets; for example, use [ADV] to denote an email classified as Junk.
Strip	Applies to attachments only. The attachment is stripped (permanently deleted) and the message is delivered with an annotation specifying how many attachments were stripped. Stripped attachments cannot be recovered.
Quarantine	Messages are saved in the quarantine for review.
Block	Messages are handled according to the Block setting above - either saved in the system quarantine or permanently deleted.

If you select Special Routing or Encrypted for a category, the checkbox Override Compliance appears. Select Override Compliance to have this content filter's action override the Compliance filter actions.

If you select Markup for a category, a text entry box appears on the right. Enter the subject tag in the box.

Note: GoSecure recommends ending the subject tag with a colon. When most mail programs sort on the subject line they ignore the text before a colon and sort on the content of the subject line.
