Unlike regular message filters (which are applied before anti-spam and anti-virus
scanning), content filters can be configured both in the CLI and in the GUI. The
GUI includes a “rule builder” page that allows you to easily create the conditions
and actions that constitute a content filter. Email Security Manager incoming or
outgoing mail policy tables manage which content filters are enabled the order in
which they will be applied for any given policy.

Content Filter Conditions
Specifying conditions in content filters is optional.
In the content filter conditions, when you add filter rules that search for patterns
in the message body or attachments, you can specify the minimum threshold for
the number of times the pattern must be found. When AsyncOS scans the
message, it totals the “score” for the number of matches it finds in the message
and attachments. If the minimum threshold is not met, the regular expression does
not evaluate to true. You can specify this threshold for text, smart identifiers, or
content dictionary terms.

You can also use “smart identifiers” to identify patterns in data. Smart identifiers
can detect the following patterns:
