When processing an email message, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway checks each rule for the sender-recipient pair of addresses beginning with the highest-priority rule (1). If no match is found, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway checks the pair of addresses of the rule with the next highest priority (2). As soon as it finds the sender - recipient" pair of addresses in any rule, the application applies the processing settings configured in that rule to the message.
If none of the rules contains the "sender - recipient" pair of addresses, the message is processed according to the preset settings of the Default rule.
You can customize the settings of each message processing rule.
