Edit Advanced Email Security filters

The Advanced Email Security add-on automatically comes with a filter to encrypt messages, but admins can also create custom filters. For example, you can choose to encrypt emails that contain sensitive information using filters based on the message's subject line or body content, and even for certain recipients or senders.
