Policy Configuration

Understanding Policies

Policies are rules that determine how SecZim handles each email. Each policy consists of:

• Conditions: What to match (sender, recipient, domain, IP)
• Action: What to do when conditions match (ACCEPT, REJECT, DEFER)
• Priority: Order in which policies are evaluated (higher = first)

Policy Actions

Action	Description	SMTP Code
ACCEPT	Allow the email through	250
REJECT	Permanently reject the email	550
DEFER	Temporarily reject (retry later)	450
DUNNO	Continue to next policy	-

Creating a Policy

In the dashboard, go to Policies → Add Policy:

1. Enter a descriptive name
2. Set the priority (1-100, higher evaluated first)
3. Define conditions (sender, recipient, etc.)
4. Choose the action
5. Optionally add a custom rejection message
6. Save and enable the policy

Pattern Matching

Policies support wildcards and patterns:

Pattern	Matches
user@example.com	Exact email address
@example.com	Any address at example.com
*@example.com	Same as above (wildcard)
user@*	This user at any domain

Common Policy Examples

Block a Specific Sender

Whitelist a Domain

Block External to Internal-Only Address

Policy Evaluation Order

1. Policies are sorted by priority (highest first)
2. First matching policy with ACCEPT/REJECT/DEFER stops evaluation
3. DUNNO continues to the next policy
4. If no policy matches, default action is ACCEPT

Disabling a Policy

You can disable a policy without deleting it by toggling the "Active" switch in the dashboard. This is useful for testing or temporary changes.

Policy Logs

View which policies triggered for each email in Logs → Session Tracking. The log shows the policy name and action taken.
