Configure Skip Item Rules for an Email Monitor

Skip Item Rules are defined criteria that determine which emails from a monitored account are discarded (and not processed). For example, anything identified by a spam filter can be thrown out automatically.

Also, specify recipient addresses so that items such as global company announcements can be ignored (and Incidents are not created from them).

Skip Certain Items is always the first in the list of Monitor Items, and it cannot be deleted. If any of the Skip Item Rules is true (example: If the text "[SPAM]" is found in the subject), then the email message is not processed further through the list of Monitor Items. The email message itself is processed according the account-specific settings for the monitored email account (see the general settings for an Email Monitor).

Note: Define Skip Item Rules for an Outlook Integration Configuration.
