To create a rule in SmartRules, click on the SmartRules DLP icon in the SMX Email Admin portal.

Then click on Inbound Rules or Outbound Rules depending on your requirements.

Click on “Default Inbound” / “Default Outbound” unless you want to make a new rule set.

Click on “New SmartRule” and the box below will appear:

Then give the rule a name and description (which is optional)
