For Match Type, select either:
•
Exact Match – To match exactly the email address that you provide. This is the default.
•
Partial Match – To match any part of the email address.
•
Regex Match – To match a predefined regular expression.

In the Content field, enter the content to match:
•

c
Repeat Step a and Step b until you have added as many elements as you want.

For example, to match on a domain, select Partial Match in the previous step and then type @ followed by the domain name in the Content field: @sonicwall.com. To match on an individual user, select Exact Match in the previous step and then type the full email address in the Content field; for example, jsmith@sonicwall.com.

Importing a list of elements from a text file by clicking Load From File. Each element in the file must be on a line by itself.
