Creating a Disposal Action

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

You can create a new disposal action to do the following:

Hold messages in a new message area. Clearswift Gateway creates the new message area automatically.

To create a disposal action:

From the Policy Center Home page, click Disposal Actions. The Manage Disposal Actions page appears, listing the currently defined disposal actions.
Select the tab for the type of disposal action to create:
- Select Message Areas to create a disposal action that writes detected messages to a message area.
Click the New button. The Add Message Area dialog appears.
In the Add Message Area dialog:
- Specify a name for the new message area and the expiry period after which Clearswift Gateway is to delete a held message.
- To enable the message area for use with PMM, click the PMM tab, and select one or more Address Lists of users who will be able to delete or release their messages from the message area. For more information, see Enabling Message Areas for PMM Access.
- See Defining a release schedule below for information on setting up scheduled release of messages.
Click Add to add the new disposal action to the list.

To use a disposal action you must associate it with one or more content rules or policy routes. You can associate up to two disposal actions with a content rule.
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.

If you release a message, the Clearswift Gateway honors the primary and secondary "Deliver" disposal actions of the next triggered rule (or those of the route default) where applicable.
