Answer
There is no way via the interface to export the mail monitoring rules or the exclusions for them.However, you can export the rules using the backend database.
-
Open the config.mdb with Microsoft Access
- In MailEssentialsthis file is located at: ..GFI\MailEssentials\AntiSpam\
-
You will need the following tables:
- mm_profiles
- mm_recipient_exclude
- mm_rules
- mm_sender_exclude
- Check the mm_profiles table. The displayname is the title of the rule. Check the id column to get the id of that rule
- Compare the id from the mm_profiles table with the profile_id in the mm_recipient_exclude, mm_sender_exclude, and mm_rules tables
- You can either export the data to a text or csv file, otherwise you will need to copy the entire line for each entry into a notepad, Excel spreadsheet, or another config.mdb to maintain the rule and exclusion integrity
