McAfee Security for Microsoft Exchange 8.6.0

Create subpolicies

Create other policies based on the Master policy or a parent policy to suit specific needs of any part of your organization. Create subpolicies for any exceptional situations that are not covered by the Master policy.

This is useful when you do not want to apply rules from the Master policy for certain users or groups in your organization. You can create exceptions and allow MSME to perform specific scan.

Some example's on when to create a subpolicy:

Allow through inbound emails to Executive level users in your organization after scanning, but quarantine for other users.
Allow certain file formats for specific user groups. For example, if you want to block .wav files for all users, except a specific department in your organization.
