  2. Under Manage Policy Definition, click Content Rules.
  3. In the Content Rules list, select the content rule, and then click Edit.
  4. In the Disposal Action area, click Click here to change these settings.
  5. In the Disposal Action list, click Deliver the message.
  6. Change as specified on the route to in the clear.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Apply the configuration.

Decryption policy

The Email Gateway will not decrypt email messages, content-check them, or validate their digital signatures unless these features have been enabled on a policy route.

This enables you to control which routes to use to decrypt incoming email.
