Configuring attachment lists

policies result in archiving the same message, each unique
added to the message. For example, the following archive tag:
Docket 53745
adds the following header to the message when it is archived:
X-archive: Docket 53745
To specify an archive tag
1 When configuring a virus, spam, or compliance policy, click the Archive the
message action.
See "Creating virus policies"
page 85, or "Creating compliance policies"
2 In the Optional archive tag box, type the text that should occur after the
X-archive header.
Type any character except carriage return, line feed, or semicolon.
3 Choose encoding for the archive tag.
ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 are appropriate for European languages. SHIFT-JIS,
EUC-JP, and ISO-2022-JP are appropriate for Japanese.
4 Click Add Action.
5 Finish configuring the policy.
Attachment lists provide a way to match against specific types of email
attachments. For example, you could create an attachment list that matches
messages containing .exe files. By adding that attachment list to a policy, you
could strip attachments from those messages, insert an annotation for the
recipients, and notify the senders.
The following attachment lists have been predefined, and can be edited:
