Customise Actions

Use this feature to customise actions for specific types of message. For example, for messages that are failing the SPF check, you can add rules to ensure that these messages are rejected immediately instead of being placed in the quarantine.

1. In the Domain Level Control Panel select Incoming - Protection Settings > Customise actions.
2. Use the Query Rules panel to filter existing customised actions and click Show Results to display matches.

• Click + Add at the top of the page to open the Add a new custom action for emails dialog.

Fill in the following fields:

• Order - the order number you want this rule to be placed in e.g. 1 to run this rule as a top priority over other rules.
• Main class rule (optional) - The log search results show the main class e.g. phish
• Sub class rule (optional) - Further restrict the rule e.g. spf
• Extra class rule (optional)- Further restrict the rule if required

  ***The main, sub, and extra classes are regular expressions which allow you to match more than one class with a single custom action.

• Action:
  • Permanently reject - message will be permanently rejected and will not be quarantined
  • Quarantine - message will be quarantined (550 SMTP response code)
  • Accept - message will be accepted by the filter
  • Accept and notate spam - message will be accepted and delivered to the recipient, with the subject being notated as a spam message
  • Blackhole - message will be dropped without informing the sender
  • Accept and notate - message will be accepted and delivered to the recipient, with the subject being notated
  • Temporary reject - message will be temporarily rejected and will not be quarantined
  • Fake Accept - message will be quarantined but the sender will not be informed (250 SMTP response code)
  • Quarantine (hidden) - message will be quarantined but cannot be released (550 SMTP response code)
• Notation - This is to be filled in only if using the Accept and Notate action and will be the text added to the subject when delivered.
