Did you read anywhere in this section the word 'overwrite'?
Is it too hard to think a boolean OR? - or reverse, a boolean AND?

block if 
   the mail and flow direction matches a defined block rule 
OR 
   the mail and flow direction NOT matches a defined good rule 

the same is 

pass if 
   the mail and flow direction NOT matches a defined block rule 
AND 
   the mail and flow direction matches a defined good rule 



>And then what happens with inheritance if an inherited policy has a block 
only, line that inherits that has a good, etc.

What a question ?? It happens the resulting rule, what else!?

This is the development test list - I expect, that every thread is read by 
everyone. 
But you know they don't.  Your call, just a suggestion.

address can be sender and/or recipient (both local and/or foreign) 
block = block-in + block-out 
block-in - for incoming mails 
block-out for outgoing mails 
same for good 

rule: 

block if 
   the mail and flow direction matches a defined block rule 
or 
   the mail and flow direction NOT matches a defined good rule 


just  simple - isn't it? 

from the GUI 
..At least one of the above option must be defined in a line - a maximum 
of all (six) could be defined, if this makes sense..... 

This should and it is confusing (means read again) ....  'all six' makes 
never sense!!!! 
Yes, but it's unclear if good means that's all that is allowed or if it's 
an override of block.   
And then what happens with inheritance if an inherited policy has a block 
only, line that inherits that has a good, etc.
And that's why I suggested the - negation syntax, to clear this up.  it's 
simple for you, but despite reading the gui many times over and over on 
this section it's not crystal clear as to what happens now.  So, as long 
as you're reworking this section, I'm suggesting the simplication.
 

>URL blocking 
I'm sorry, this was an absolutely terrible choice of file extension on my 
part.  We're blocking the .url extension.  Same questions below but this 
time with the .doc extension for clarity: 

Good / Block and inheritance

~policyname => block => exe\-bin|doc|bla

I definitely don't understand the good and blocked syntax of the current 
UserAttach implementation.  I think that could use some clarification in 
the gui.  If you're reworking the UserAttach concept, maybe we could 
change this?

If policy1 is defined as above, and we want to remove URL blocking for a 
user, how would we do that?
* => policy1 
allowwordfileu...@domain.com =>  good => doc
Would that add of doc to good, thereby negating the block inherited from 
policy1?
Does adding good to the user make it so that doc is the ONLY type that 
person can receive?
* => policy1 
(-i)allowwordfileu...@domain.com =>  block => policy1|-doc
in this above example, that user has inheritance turned off, gets policy1 
and -doc removed from that list
or
* => policy1 
allowwordfileu...@domain.com =>  block => -doc
Inheritance is on above, and doc is removed from that inherited list  (I 
think I like this syntax the best)
