Managing Actions and Action Groups

Use

You can assign action groups to Bounced Mail Framework (BMF) patterns and execute them when these patterns match the header or contents of a mail message. Each action group consists of one or more actions. Actions are simple events that you can combine in groups and specify the order of their execution.

You can add, rename, or delete action groups as well as the actions within the groups.
