actions based on specific circumstances.

The new rule is added to the top of the list of policies.
Task — Change the scanning order of my policies
The appliance uses the order of the policies to evaluate the email messages being scanned. A message
will first be evaluated against the rule with the Order value of 1, and if this does not trigger, it is then
evaluated against policy 2 and so on until it is evaluated by the default scanning policy.
If you have created more than two scanning policies, you can change the order that your appliance
uses the policies to evaluate email traffic. This is achieved by moving the relevant policies up or down
the policy list.
The default policy always appears at the bottom of the list of policies.
You cannot change its position.
