When Content Filtering is enabled, before any message is allowed to leave the queue it will first be processed through the Content Filter rules. The result of this procedure will determine what is done with the message.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0 3.0625rem 0.8750rem 3.0000rem;\"><table style=\"background-color:#ffffe6; border:solid thin #000000; border-spacing:0;\">\n\r<tr>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; width:3.1250rem; height:3.1250rem; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_NoFormat\"><img style=\"margin:0;width:3.1250rem;height:3.1250rem;border:none\" src=\".\/images\/lightbulb_on_50_yback.gif\"\/><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_Notes\"><span class=\"f_Notes\">Messages that have a filename beginning with the letter &quot;P&quot; will be ignored by the content filtering process. Every other message will be processed through the content filter system. Once processed, MDaemon will change the first character of the filename to a &quot;P&quot;. In this way a message will only be processed through the content filtering system once.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r<p class=\"p_DialogSectionHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_DialogSectionHeading\">Content Filtering Rules<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_ControlHeading\">Enable rules processing engine<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">Click this checkbox to enable content filtering. All messages processed by MDaemon will be filtered through the content filter rules before being delivered. <\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_DialogSectionHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_DialogSectionHeading\">Existing Content Filtering Rules<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">This box lists all of your Content Filter rules, with a checkbox beside each one so that you can enable\/disable them at will. To see a description of any given rule in its internal script format, click that rule and pause your mouse-cursor over it (moving your mouse will cause the description to disappear). Whenever a message is processed through the Content Filter, these rules will be applied in the order in which they are listed. This makes it possible for you to arrange your rules to achieve a greater level of versatility.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">For example: If you have a rule that deletes all messages containing the words, &quot;This is Spam!&quot; and a similar rule that sends those messages to the Postmaster, then putting them in the right order will enable both rules to be applied to the message. This assumes that there isn<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\',Times,Georgia,serif; color: #010100;\">\'<\/span><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">t a &quot;Stop Processing Rules&quot; rule that applies to the message higher up in the list. If so, then you would use the <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: italic; color: #010100;\">Move Up<\/span><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">\/<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-style: italic; color: #010100;\">Move Down<\/span><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\"> buttons to move the &quot;Stop&quot; rule below the other two. Then, any message containing &quot;This is Spam!&quot; would be copied to the Postmaster and then deleted.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0 3.0625rem 0.8750rem 3.0000rem;\"><table style=\"background-color:#ffffe6; border:solid thin #000000; border-spacing:0;\">\n\r<tr>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; width:3.1250rem; height:3.1250rem; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_NoFormat\"><img style=\"margin:0;width:3.1250rem;height:3.1250rem;border:none\" src=\".\/images\/lightbulb_on_50_yback.gif\"\/><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_Notes\"><span class=\"f_Notes\">MDaemon has the capability to create rules that will perform multiple tasks and use <\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Courier New\',Courier,monospace;\">and\/or<\/span><span class=\"f_Notes\"> logic. Considering the example above, instead of using multiple rules you could create a single rule that would accomplish all of those tasks and more.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_ControlHeading\">New rule<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">Click this button to create a new content filter rule.
