Filters are rule components used to check whether a message is to be processed with the rule or not. Filters are used one by one in the order of their listing. If a message fails to come through any filter, it is not processed. Only data from a message header are used for filtering, to avoid downloading an entire message before it is clear whether it is to be processed or not.
The are the following filters in AEP:
Checks if the string is present in a message part. |
|
Used to filter messages by size. |
|
Used to filter messages downloaded with the specified account. |
|
Used to combine work results of some filters and filter groups using logical operation. |
For the messages received with accounts operating in the Collector mode, the time of checking a message with all filters from the Rules list should not exceed mail server timeout.
The filters are placed in the Filters folder in the Components panel.
