Assigning content categories in rules

The preferred way to specify the actions to be taken for messages that match a filter rule is to assign a content category in the rule, in the ruleset file. You define the default settings included in a content category in the content categories section of Custom Properties.xml.

In the ruleset file, you assign a content category as follows:

<RULE NAME="Example rule" ACTION="ARCHIVE_ITEM"
  CONTENTCATEGORY="content_category_name">
	<message attribute filters>
</RULE>

The value of "content_category_name" is the name of the required content category as specified in Custom Properties.xml.

In the ruleset file, content categories can only be assigned when ACTION="ARCHIVE_ITEM".
