Configuring the Route

A route is a specific "To" and "From" combination that includes a recipient's and sender's email address or domain, LDAP groups, or address groups. You can also configure exceptions to a route.

Senders and recipients must be on the Internal Addresses list if you select incoming messages or outgoing messages when adding a new rule or modifying an existing rule:

Examples

Use the asterisk wildcard to include a wide range of email addresses. For example:

 

To configure the route:

  1. Click one of the following:

  2. Under Select addresses, select one of the following:

  3. If you are adding an email address or domain, click Add>. If you are adding an LDAP or address group, click it in the list box, and then click Add>.

  4. To remove any email address or domain from the Selected list, click the trash can.

  1. Click Save.

  2. Continue configuring the rule.

 

1. When selecting an LDAP group as the recipients or senders, you can use wildcards in the beginning and/or at the end of the LDAP group if you have specified Microsoft Active Directory or Sun iPlanet Directory as the LDAP server. For example, A*, *A, *A* are all allowed. If you have selected Domino as the LDAP server, you can only use wildcards at the end.  For example, *A, *A* are not allowed.

2. To prevent virus leak and ensure that all messages are scanned, Trend Micro recommends that you maintain at least one rule that applies to all messages at all times.
