Media Type Filter<br />
The Media Type Filter section looks like this:<br />
Using this section, you can configure actions, e. g. Block, Block, log and<br />
notify, Allow, etc., for the Media Type Filter.<br />
This filter manages the flow of incoming media types for HTTP and FTP downloads,<br />
as well as for SMTP.<br />
A media (content) type is a general category of data content, such as an application,<br />
audio content, a text message, an image, a video stream, etc. The<br />
media type tells the application that receives the data what kind of application<br />
is needed to process the content, e. g. Real Audio is to play the audio content<br />
for a user. Each of these media types also have subtypes, e. g. the text media<br />
type has four subtypes: plain, rich text, enriched, and tab-separated values.<br />
The actions that you configure here will be executed according to the result<br />
achieved by the Media Type Filter for a filtered object.<br />
