Copy to Message Area action

The Copy to Message Area action holds a copy of a detected message in a specified message area. See Creating a Disposal Action for information on creating a new message area.

You can apply the Copy to Message Area action to the Archive to Server and Detect Lexical Expression content rules.

 
  • This action is not designed for long term message archiving.
  • If you select a message area that has an expiry period, Secure Email Gateway will delete messages copied to this message area after this period expires.
  • If you apply a Copy to Message Area action and set a disposal action to hold messages in a different message area, you will have two copies of the same message. If you delete the message from one message area, it still remains in the other.
