Overview

Kerio Connect applies incoming rules to all the messages that come to the server from local or remote senders. These rules are applied before the outgoing rules and user filters in Kerio Connect Client.

To create a new message filter rule, special separators like commas, semi-colons, asterisks, question marks can be used.

The common scenarios include configuring the Out Of Office message for all users in the specified domain or sending notification email once the message size reaches the specific size.
