## Configuring a Content Filtering Exception

Exception policies follow the same priority behavior as other content filtering policies. Exception policies specify email address exception lists for content filtering policies with a lower priority.

| ##### Note Exception email addresses can be SMTP addresses or display name (for users in the domain where ScanMail is installed). Regular expressions can be used in exception email addresses.

### Procedure

1. Go to the Content Filtering screen by navigating to one of the following:
   - For Real-time scans: Content Filtering
   - For Manual scans: Manual Scan → Content filtering
   - For Scheduled scans: Scheduled Scan → [Add or Edit] → Content filtering
2. Add or edit a policy:
   - For new policies:
     Click Add → Exceptions.
   - For pre-existing policies:
     Click the policy name.
3. Type an email address under Enter address(es).
4. Click Add.
   The email address appears in the list.
5. Save the list.
