Include and Exclude Filters

For each pair of Include and Exclude filters, the Include filter is processed first. This means that if an e‑mail does not match the value of the Include filter, the Universal Adapter infers that the email has been successfully processed and therefore deletes it. An email is only processed by the Exclude filter if it matches the value of the Include filter.

If an email does match the Include filter, it is then checked against the Exclude filter. If this matches, the e‑mail is deemed successfully processed, and therefore deleted. So, for an email to be processed by the Universal Adapter, it must match all Include filters, and must not match any Exclude filters.

MessageClassIncludeFilter, MessageClassExcludeFilter

Type: REG_MULTI_SZ

Data: Enable the Universal Adapter to only process, or exclude from processing, emails of specific categories. For example:

To only process appointment notification emails, set the MessageClassIncludeFilter value to:

IPM.Taskrequest

To import all categories of email, set this value to * (an empty value fail).

To exclude all faxes and meeting requests, set this value to:

IPM.*.Fax, IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request

Note: You can specify multiple inclusions or exclusions using a comma-separated.

RecipientAddressIncludeFilter, RecipientAddressExcludeFilter

Type: REG_MULTI_SZ

Data: Enable the Universal Adapter to only process or exclude from processing, e‑mails sent to specific users. Recipient addresses that match the address specified in:

Note: You can specify multiple addresses in either value using a comma-separated list.

When setting either of these filters, be aware that the Universal Adapter only retrieves one email address for each recipient, as it does not perform an address book lookup. For internal recipients, this will normally be the Exchange email address, but for external recipients, it can be the Exchange or SMTP email address.

The syntax of this setting is the same as the CA DataMinder email address filter syntax. For details, see the Administration console online Help; search the index for ‘wildcards’.

SenderAddressIncludeFilter, SenderAddressExcludeFilter

Type: REG_MULTI_SZ

Data: Enables the Universal Adapter to only process or exclude from processing, e‑mails sent by specific users. Sender addresses that match the address specified in:

Note: You can specify multiple addresses in either value using a comma-separated list.

When setting this filter, be aware that the Universal Adapter only retrieves one email address for each sender, as it does not perform an address book lookup. For internal recipients, this will normally be the Exchange email address, but for external senders it can be the Exchange or SMTP email address.

SubjectIncludeFilter, SubjectExcludeFilter

Type: REG_MULTI_SZ

Data: Enables the Universal Adapter to only import or exclude from import, emails with a specific subject. E‑mails with the subject matching the one specified in:

To import emails of all subjects, ensure this registry value is set to * (an empty value will fail).

Note: You can specify multiple subjects in either value using a comma-separated list.

When using any of the following special characters in their literal sense, you need to prefix them with a \ backslash character.

{ } | [ ] % ? * \

For example, to search for ‘24*7’, you need to enter ‘24\*7’.
