Objective:

A configuration to process all emails and,

  1. If the email is found to have Sensitive Information (like SSN, DEA number etc. IP Address in this example.), send it for approval before being delivered to the recipient.

    If sensitive information types like SSN or ITIN are defined in this condition, policy tips can be activated.

  2. Created a second mailflow rule with the next priority to encrypt any email that meets Condition 1.
