Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

Use the Incoming or Outgoing Content Filters page to create a new content filter whose order 
is 1. 

Use the Incoming or Outgoing Mail Policies page to enable the new content filter for the default 
policy. 

Enable the content filter for all remaining policies.

The Bcc: and Quarantine actions available in Content Filters can help you determine the retention 
settings of quarantines you create. (See the “Quarantines” chapter in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 
for Email Daily Management Guide for more details.) You can create filters that would simulate mail 
flow into and out of your system quarantines so that messages are not released too quickly from the 
system (that is, the quarantine areas do not fill their allotted disk space too quickly). 

Because it uses the same settings as the 

scanconfig

 command, the “Entire Message” condition does 

not scan a message’s headers; choosing the “Entire Message” will scan only the message body and 
attachments. Use the “Subject” or “Header” conditions to search for specific header information.

Configuring users by LDAP query will only appear in the GUI if you have LDAP servers configured 
on the appliance (that is, you have configured the appliance to query specific LDAP servers with 
specific strings using the 

ldapconfig

 command). 

Some sections of the content filter rule builder will not appear in the GUI if the resource has not 
been preconfigured. For example, notification templates and message disclaimers will not appear as 
options if they have not been configured previously using the Text Resources page or the 

textconfig

 command in the CLI. 

Content filters features will recognize, can contain, and/or scan for text in the following character 
encodings: 

Unicode (UTF-8) 

Unicode (UTF-16) 

Western European/Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) 

Western European/Latin-1 (Windows CP1252) 

Traditional Chinese (Big 5) 

Simplified Chinese (GB 2312) 

Simplified Chinese (HZ GB 2312) 

Korean (ISO 2022-KR) 

Korean (KS-C-5601/EUC-KR) 

Japanese (Shift-JIS (X0123)) 

Japanese (ISO-2022-JP) 

Japanese (EUC) 

You can mix and match multiple character sets within a single content filter. Refer to your web 
browser’s documentation for help displaying and entering text in multiple character encodings. Most 
browsers can render multiple character sets simultaneously.
