About message processing rules

A message processing rule (or rule) is a group of settings for multiple pairs of addresses of senders and recipients; Kaspersky Security applies the rule to all messages whose sender and recipient match one of the pairs. For a rule to be assigned to a message, the addresses of the sender and recipient must be specified in the rule settings.

By default, the application contains the following preset message processing rules:

  • WhiteList – process messages from the white list.
  • BlackList – process messages from the black list.
  • Default – process messages according to the predefined settings.

When processing an email, the application checks each rule for the "sender - recipient" pair of addresses beginning with the highest-priority rule (1). If no match is found, the application checks the pair of addresses of the rule with the next highest priority (2). As soon as it finds the "sender - recipient" pair of addresses in any rule, the application applies the processing settings configured in that rule to the message.

If none of the rules contains the "sender - recipient" pair of addresses, the message is processed according to the preset settings of the Default rule.

You can customize the settings of each message processing rule.
