• Rule 2 checks SMTP traffic for the word “sale” in the message body
When the sensor is used, either rule could be activated its configured condition is true. If
only one condition is true, only the corresponding rule would be activated. Depending on
the contents of the SMTP traffic, neither, either, or both could be activated.
If you remove these rules from the sensor, add them to a compound rule, and add the
compound rule to the sensor, the conditions in both rules have to be present in network
traffic to activate the compound rule. If only one condition is present, the message passes
without any rule or compound rule being activated.
By combining the individually configurable attributes of multiple rules, compound rules
allow you to specify far more detailed and specific conditions to trigger an action.
