Configuring email filtering 75 Assigning filter policies to a group Note: The maximum number of entries in the Members list for a Group Policy is 10,000. If you require more than 10,000 entries, contact your Symantec representative for instructions on how to configure MySQL and Tomcat to support more entries. This limitation refers to the number of entries in the Members list, not the number of users at your company. Due to this limit on importing large lists of users, when possible use domain names, subdomain names or wildcards in email addresses to add users to groups. To export Group Policy members to a file 1 In the Members tab of the Add Group page, click Export. 2 Complete your operating system's save file dialog box as appropriate. Note: LDAP groups cannot be imported or exported. If you export from a group that includes LDAP groups, the LDAP groups will be omitted from the export. Assigning filter policies to a group By default, groups you create are assigned the default filter policies for spam and viruses (there is no default for compliance policies). Follow the steps in the sections below to assign different filter policies to groups. You may first want to create your own filter policies. See "Creating virus, spam, and compliance filter policies" on page 82. Selecting virus policies for a group Virus policies determine what to do with inbound and outbound messages that contain any of six categories of threats. Table 4-5 lists the categories and the default action for each category.

Configuring email filtering
Assigning filter policies to a group
Note:
The maximum number of entries in the Members list for a Group Policy is
10,000. If you require more than 10,000 entries, contact your Symantec
representative for instructions on how to configure MySQL and Tomcat to
support more entries. This limitation refers to the number of entries in the
Members list, not the number of users at your company. Due to this limit on
importing large lists of users, when possible use domain names, subdomain
names or wildcards in email addresses to add users to groups.
To export Group Policy members to a file
1
In the Members tab of the Add Group page, click
Export
.
2
Complete your operating system’s save file dialog box as appropriate.
Note:
LDAP groups cannot be imported or exported. If you export from a group
that includes LDAP groups, the LDAP groups will be omitted from the export.
Assigning filter policies to a group
By default, groups you create are assigned the default filter policies for spam
and viruses (there is no default for compliance policies). Follow the steps in the
sections below to assign different filter policies to groups. You may first want to
create your own filter policies. See
“Creating virus, spam, and compliance filter
policies”
on page 82.
Selecting virus policies for a group
Virus policies determine what to do with inbound and outbound messages that
contain any of six categories of threats.
Table 4-5
