Create and Enable a Custom Policy - VES

In place of the default policy, you may use a custom policy to specify in much more detail which inbound messages and attachment types are processed by ATP.

Because the default policy for ATP always takes precedence over a custom policy, you must first ensure the default ATP policy is disabled.

Disable the default ATP policy
  1. Select Service Settings > ATP
  2. If enabled, de-select Enable Attachment Threat Protection Default Policy

Email Security will display a notification confirming the change.
