Policy Routes

Policy routes define which parts of your content security policy are applied by the Gateway. You can configure a policy route to apply to certain users and addresses, and control the flow of information between 'endpoints' on the route.

Policy routes are processed in the order they appear on the Manage Policy Routes page.

Tell me about...

• Mail Policy Routes

  On an Email Gateway, each Mail Policy Route includes:

  • A route, consisting of From addresses and To addresses. These addresses are grouped in address lists.
  • A default decryption action for messages which match with the policy route.
  • A default delivery action for messages which match with the policy route.
  • A default disposal action for messages which match with the policy route.
  • Content rules to apply to messages which match with the policy route.
• Web Policy Routes

  Each Web Policy Route includes:

  • A route between two endpoints, for example, a machine list or user name list and an Internet zone.
  • A default action for traffic which matches the policy route
  • Content rules to apply to traffic which matches the policy route
