Table 11-15 Rule conditions
524 Lotus Security Handbook
Creating mail rules
You create Mail rules in the Messaging section of the Configuration Settings
document for the servers where the rules apply. For each rule, you can specify
the criteria the server uses to determine whether to apply the rule to a given
message.
Condition components Description
Message item to examine Specifies the Notes message item that the Router examines when
evaluating whether to apply a rule. Choose one of the following: Sender,
Subject, Body, Importance, Delivery priority, To, CC, BCC, To or CC, Body
or subject, Internet domain, Size (in bytes), All documents, Attachment
name, Number of attachments, Form, Recipient count, or Any recipient.
Choose “All Documents” to enable the rule to act on all messages
deposited in MAIL.BOX.
Logical operator or qualifier Specifies how the Router evaluates the content of the target field. For
example, if you selected the message item Attachment Name, selecting the
qualifier “is” defines a rule that acts on all messages having an attached file
with a name that exactly matches the name you specify. Choose one of the
following:
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)
Value to check in message
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 attached file 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
and enter 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 text
equivalent (that is, enter 2, not two).
