Figure 11. Filtering rule editing  

The order of conditions does not matter since all of them must be met in order for 
the rule to be applied. The actions are executed according to the order in which 
they are displayed in the table (THEN DO) in the right part of the filtering rule 
editing window

. 

The 

 symbol next to the action name shows that the action is severe or 

moderately severe and the operation of the current rule stops after it is executed. 
Thus, no action, preceded by this action in the table, will be executed. 

The 

 symbol before a condition or an action shows either that the description 

of this condition (action) is incorrect or that this condition (action) cannot be used. 

For example, this symbol will mark any actions set in a rule together with the 
Reject 

action (see Figure 12), since this action will be executed first and then 

rule processing will stop and no actions will be executed. This symbol also marks 
conditions and actions that have been set without one or several required 
parameters specified. Thus in the following example, in the first condition an IP 
address, that must match the sending mail server address, is not specified.

 This order is determined by the “compatibility” of actions, e.g. the reject action is the first 

in the hierarchy, as none of the actions can be combined with it. The accept action will be 
the last one since it can be executed along with any other moderate action.
