New message

The New message action sends a brand-new email when a policy rule matches. The new message is independent of the message that triggered the rule - you define its own recipients, subject, body template, attachments and headers.

The settings are grouped into tabs.

Recipients​

New message - recipients

  • From - the sender address. A single address.
  • To - one or more recipient addresses.
  • Cc - one or more carbon-copy addresses.
  • Bcc - one or more blind carbon-copy addresses.

Type addresses manually, separating several with a comma or semicolon, or click User... to pick them from the directory. For To, Cc and Bcc the picked address is added to the field; for From it replaces the current value.

info

Variables can be used in the address fields, so recipients can be derived from the message being processed - for example {message:header:from}.

Message​

New message - message

  • Subject - the subject of the new message.
  • Body - click Select... to choose a template. Both the Html and the plain-text versions of the template are sent, so the recipient's mail client can pick the format it prefers.

Attachments​

New message - attachments

Files to attach to the message. Each entry is either a stored attachment managed on the Attachments page, or an absolute path to a file on the milter host. A stored attachment that no longer exists, or a file path that does not exist at send time, is skipped.

Headers​

New message - headers

Custom headers to add to the new message, each as a name and value.
