4.1. Creating groups of
recipients/senders
Recipients/Senders group is defined as pairs of recipient/sender email
addresses. A particular email message may be assigned to a particular group
depending on whether this group contains the sender’s or the recipient’s address
present in the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands.
The administrator can specify individual rules for processing of each mail
message depending on the group of recipients/senders. Therefore, it is
particularly important that the addresses must be associated with a correct
group.
While processing a message, the application searches through the list of
addresses for each specific group. If it finds a matching combination of the
sender/recipient addresses, the rules defined for this group will be applied to the
email message.
