## Configuring Content Filtering Policies

To create a content filtering policy, a policy wizard directs you through a series of steps. At each step, you add to your policy until it is complete. After you have created your policy, ScanMail begins to filter all incoming and outgoing messages according to your policy.
You can create the policies that do the following:

#### Content Filtering Policies

Policy | Description
--- | ---
Match any or apply to all | This type of policy is capable of filtering content from any message in real-time or during a manual or scheduled scan.
| ##### Note Active Directory integration is available for Exchange Server 2016 and 2013 Mailbox server roles, and Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server role.
Match all conditions | This type of policy performs an action when ScanMail detects specific details in the From, To, Cc, Subject, Size, and Attachment file name fields in email messages.
Match any condition | This type of policy scans the message content of particular email account(s). These policies are similar to general content filtering policies, except that they only filter content from specified email account(s).
Exceptions | This type of policy creates an exception for specific email account(s).
