If some recipients match different policies, the recipients are grouped according to the policies they
matched, the message is split into a number of messages equal to the number of policies that
matched, and the recipients are set to each appropriate “splinter.”

If all recipients match the same policy, the message is not splintered. Conversely, a maximum
splintering scenario would be one in which a single message is splintered for each message
recipient.

Each message splinter is then processed by anti-spam, anti-virus, DLP scanning (outgoing messages

Message Splintering in the Email Pipeline
Note
New MIDs (message IDs) are created for each message splinter (for example, MID 1 becomes MID 2
and MID 3). For more information, see the “Logging” chapter in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email
Daily Management Guide. In addition, the trace function shows which policies cause a message to be
split.

Policy matching and message splintering in Email Security Manager policies obviously affect how you

Managed Exceptions
Because the iterative processing of each splinter message impacts performance, Cisco recommends
using the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Policies tables of Email Security Manager to configure policies
on a managed exception basis. In other words, evaluate your organization’s needs and try to configure
the feature so that the majority of messages will be handled by the default policy and the minority of
