Content Control
Content Control allows CMail Server to
scan incoming and outgoing mail for the violations of the content database as specified by
the Administrator. Restrictions can also be placed on the type of files that a user can
receive as attachments.
The configuration for Content Control can be
found in this menu although it is enabled on a per-user basis from the Advanced User Preferences
menu.
The Content Control menu is divided into two
sections. The left section handles banned words or phrases and the second section handles
banned attachment types.
Enabling Content Control
There are two ways to activate content control. The first is on a per-user basis and
is set on the Advanced User
Preferences of each user. The second method is to check the box labelled Scan all
users Email which imposes content control on every user on the system.

Enter the word or phrase you wish to ban
into the field located directly under the Banned Words/Phrases list.

Deleting a banned word or phrase

Banning a specific file type from
