Domain Policies

Domain Policies

Use Anti-Spam Engine > Domain Policies to set and manage policy settings for your domains. When a domain is added through Settings > Mail Relay it is automatically listed in Domain Policies for management.


Note

A default domain policy is automatically created for each domain that is added to Z Services Cloud.


Domain policy settings are inherited by all users in that domain. However, if a separate user-based policy is created in Anti-Spam Engine > User Policies then this will override the domain policy for that user.

  2. Check the domain ST-701-check-box.jpg you want to edit and click Edit.
