At this point, incoming messages that match the user list for the engineering policy will not have MP3

Notes on Configuring Content Filters in the GUI
•
It is not necessary to specify a condition when creating a content filter. When no action is defined,
any actions defined will always apply in the rule. (Specifying no action is equivalent to using the
any actions defined will always apply in the rule. (Specifying no action is equivalent to using the
true()
message filter rule — all messages will be matched if the content filter is applied to a policy.)
•
If you do not assign a custom user role to a content filter, the content filter is public and can be used
by any delegated administrator for their mail policies. See the “Common Administrative Tasks” in
the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email Daily Management Guide for more information on delegated
administrators and content filters.

Administrators and operators can view and edit all content filters on an appliance, even when the
content filters are assigned to custom user roles.
content filters are assigned to custom user roles.
•
When entering text for filter rules and actions, the following meta characters have special meaning
in regular expression matching:
in regular expression matching:
. ^ $ * + ? { [ ] \ | ( )
If you do not wish to use regular expression you should use a '\' (backslash) to escape any of these
characters. For example: "\*Warning\*"
characters. For example: "\*Warning\*"
•
When you define more than one Condition for a content filter, you can define whether all of the
defined actions (that is, a logical AND) or any of the defined actions (logical OR) need to apply in
order for the content filter to be considered a match.

Choosing Any or All of the Following Conditions
•
You can test message splintering and content filters by creating “benign” content filters. For
example, it is possible to create a content filter whose only action is “deliver.” This content filter
will not affect mail processing; however, you can use this filter to test how Email Security Manager
policy processing affects other elements in the system (for example, the mail logs).

Conversely, using the “master list” concept of the Incoming or Outgoing Content Filters, it is
possible to create very powerful, wide-sweeping content filters that will immediately affect message
processing for all mail handled by the appliance. The process for this is to:
