Both above actions are moderate and message processing resumes after their 
execution. In this case the following actions will be applied to the modified 
message version

Suppose that the change recipient action has been applied to a mail 
message and recipient x has been replaced with recipient y. Now the 
rule containing the condition that the recipient address of the message 
is y will work and the rule with the condition that the recipient must be x 
will not work. 
If the list of addresses was modified during the execution of the common profile, 
then the creation of virtual copies and the selection of the personal profile for 
each such copy will be performed in accordance with the updated list. 
All actions, performed during the execution of a personal profile, apply to a single 
virtual copy of the message. Although this copy is associated with a particular 
recipient, the change recipient action can be applied to it, i.e. its recipient can 
be changed. 
 
Changing the recipient during a personal profile execution does not 
mean that a different profile (corresponding to the new recipient’s 
address) rules should be applied to the message. Execution of the 
current personal profile selected for the initial recipient of this copy will 
continue. 
4.3.4.3. Filtering results 
The filtering results for a message (or its virtual copy for a particular recipient) 
are determined by the set of actions performed and the order of the execution of 
these actions. 
The last action performed on the message has the greatest effect on this 
message. This is why the report of the possible message (copy) processing 
results depends on the last action applied. 
It has been mentioned above that if none of the severe actions – rejectblack 
hole
 or accept  – has been applied to a message (copy), the accept action is 
executed by default at the end of processing. Thus, only one of the three 
specified actions can be the last action. 
The skip action is not mentioned in the report, since it affects only the order of 
the rule execution, but does perform any direct actions on the message.

 In this case the initial header values, etc. will be saved and used, if necessary. For 
example the call to the content filtering library is performed using the initial value of the 
Subject header.
