Apply a content rule to a policy route

Content rules can only operate when applied to at least one policy route. After you have created a content rule, you must apply it to a relevant Mail Policy Route.

 

In the editing page for each content rule, there is the Content Rule Usage panel at the top, describing which policy routes the content rule is currently applied to. If you click the name of a policy route, you will be navigated to the Modify Policy Route page of that route. If a content rule is not applied to any policy routes, a message indicating this is displayed at the top, instead of the Content Rule Usage panel.
