Managed Exceptions
Using the steps shown in the two examples above, you can begin to create and configure policies on a
managed exception basis. In other words, after evaluating your organization’s needs you can configure
policies so that the majority of messages will be handled by the default policy. You can then create
additional “exception” policies for specific users or user groups, managing the differing policies as
needed. In this manner, message splintering will be minimized and you are less likely to impact system
performance from the processing of each splinter message in the work queue.

designed to minimize the amount of spam and viruses that reach end-users mailboxes. “Conservative”
policies are tailored to avoid false positives and prevent users from missing messages, regardless of
policies.
