The following conditions can cause errors:
No filter with a given filtname.
No filter with a given sequence number.
Note A filter which is inactive may also be noted in its syntax; the colon after the label (name of the filter) is
changed to an exclamation point (!). A filter entered manually from the CLI, or imported, that contains
this syntax, will automatically be marked inactive. For example, mailfrompm! instead of mailfrompm: is
displayed.
Importing Message Filters
import filename
The name of the file containing filters to be processed. This file must reside in the
configuration directory of the FTP/SCP root directory on the appliance, if you enabled FTP/SCP access
for the interface with the interfaceconfig command. It is ingested and parsed, and any errors are
reported. The filters imported replace all filters existing in the current filter set. See Appendix B,
“Accessing the Appliance” for more information. Consider exporting the current filter list (see Exporting
Message Filters, page 6-81) and then editing that file before importing.
When importing message filters, you are prompted to select the encoding used.
The following conditions can cause errors:
File does not exist.
Filter with a non-unique filter name.
Filter with a filtname that is a reserved word.
Filter with a syntax error.
Exporting Message Filters
Filter with actions referring to non-existent system resources such as interfaces.
export filename [seqnum|filtname|range]
Output a formatted version of the existing filter set to a file in the configuration directory of the FTP/SCP
root directory on the appliance. See Appendix B, “Accessing the Appliance” for more information.
When exporting message filters, you are prompted to select the encoding used.
The following conditions can cause errors:
No filter with a given filter name.
No filter with a given sequence number.
Viewing Non-ASCII Character Sets
The system displays filters containing non-ASCII characters in the CLI in UTF-8. If your
terminal/display does not support UTF-8, the filter will unreadable.
