Thank you Simon. Just so I am clear: (for example) In order to apply a specific outgoing message rate limit to both yahoo.com and yahoo.net, I have created a policy having (source => %internal_domains, destination => %yahoo_domains); I have created the appropriate quota+limits and linked it to the rate limit policy.
In order for this policy to not conflict with the system Default policy, I must change the Default's only member from (source=>any, destination =>any) to (source=>any, destination => !%yahoo_domains)? Must I also prohibit this group (and any other group) from any other members that might be added to the Default policy in the future? Thanks for your help!
