Outbound Delivery Rules for IMail Domains

Use Outbound delivery rules to filter messages that are being sent through IMail Server to a non-local address. Outbound delivery rules can only be created for the mail domain level.

Use the Outbound Rules page to add new outbound rules, edit outbound rules, delete outbound rules, move outbound rule evaluation priority up or down, and add and set actions to take on a message that matches the rule criteria.

The Outbound Rules list displays information about each of the active outbound rules for the selected mail domain. The outbound delivery rules for a mail domain are stored in the orules.ima file, located in \IMail domain top directory\hostname.
