Creating a Message Annotation

References to Email policy content are only available when an Email Gateway is included in the peer group.

You can create a Message Annotation to reference from an Annotate the Message action in the What To Do? section of any content rule.

To create a Message Annotation:

From the Policy Center Home page, click Message Annotations. The Manage Message Annotations page appears.
Click New adjacent to the Message Annotations header. The Modify Message Annotations page appears.

The Overview area enables you to provide a name and optional notes for the Message Annotation. To edit these details:

Move the mouse pointer over the Overview area and click Click here to change these settings.
Edit the Name if required. Clearswift Gateway provides a default name. Change this to something more meaningful, if required.
Edit the Notes if required. You can insert, change, or delete text in this field, which is empty by default.
Click Save.

The Annotation Content area defines the text of the annotation in plain and HTML formats. To define the text of the annotation:

Move the mouse pointer over the Annotation Content area and click Click here to change these settings.
In the Plain Format drop-down box, type the annotation text you wish to appear in the plain-text body of the message.
In the HTML Format drop-down box, type the HTML text you wish to appear in the HTML body of the message. The toolbar in the HTML Format area provides options for inserting HTML code (click ) and for viewing either the raw HTML or the text as it will appear by repeatedly clicking .
Click Save.

When you have finished modifying your content security policy you must apply the configuration for any changes to take effect. If the Gateways are configured as a group, any group changes should be applied to each Gateway.

You can include tokens in Message Annotations. Clearswift Gateway replaces these with message properties, or responses made by the Policy Engine. For more information, see Using Tokens.

To use a Message Annotation, reference it from an Annotate the Message What to Do? Action of a content rule.
