Assigning Filter Policies To A Group; Selecting Virus Policies For A Group - Symantec 10490452 - Mail Security 8220 Administration Manual

Assigning filter policies to a group

Selecting virus policies for a group

Note: The maximum number of entries in the Members list for a Group Policy is
10,000. If you require more than 10,000 entries, contact your Symantec
representative for instructions on how to configure MySQL and Tomcat to
support more entries. This limitation refers to the number of entries in the
Members list, not the number of users at your company. Due to this limit on
importing large lists of users, when possible use domain names, subdomain
names or wildcards in email addresses to add users to groups.
To export Group Policy members to a file
1 In the Members tab of the Add Group page, click Export.
2 Complete your operating system's save file dialog box as appropriate.
Note: LDAP groups cannot be imported or exported. If you export from a group
that includes LDAP groups, the LDAP groups will be omitted from the export.
By default, groups you create are assigned the default filter policies for spam
and viruses (there is no default for compliance policies). Follow the steps in the
sections below to assign different filter policies to groups. You may first want to
create your own filter policies. See
