Compress attachments	Decompression options	Compression condition

Compress attachments
Policy Patrol Zip can compress all attachments, or only attachments of a certain size or format. You can compress attachments into one zipped archive or into separate archives for each attachment. Passwords can be applied to zipped archives.

Decompress attachments
Policy Patrol Zip can automatically decompress zipped archives to save users time unzipping the attachments themselves. By indicating a maximum extracted file size, you can prevent attachments from becoming too large.

Internal email and external email compression
Attachments can be compressed and decompressed for external and internal emails (if installed on Exchange Server 2007, 2003 or 2000). Since Policy Patrol Zip can distinguish between internally and externally sent mails, different compression rules can be applied to each.

User-based rules
Compression rules can be applied to selected users, groups, or domains and can have user or group exclusions.

Condition-based compression rules
Apart from attachment type and size, compression or decompression rules can also trigger for only certain recipients or when a specified code is in the subject field. This code can then be removed by Policy Patrol Zip before delivering the message.

Auto-replies
Policy Patrol Zip allows you to send auto-replies for existing users and for employees who have left your organization.

Exchange Server & Lotus Domino integration
Policy Patrol Zip works with Exchange Server 2007, 2003, 2000 & 5.5 (or Windows Small Business Server), Lotus Domino and any other SMTP mail server.

Policy Patrol Zip takes full advantage of the Active Directory structure, which enables you to select users, groups, domains and contacts from the Active Directory, and to retrieve user properties for merge fields.

If you do not have Active Directory, Policy Patrol Zip can also retrieve users & groups and their properties from Exchange Server 5.5 and Lotus Domino. Alternatively, you can import users from a text file or manually enter users and their email addresses.
