# Malware Filters

This report lists the malware filter policies configured in the selected tenant, each paired with the rule that decides who it applies to. It shows whether a policy is in force, which domains it covers, how the common attachment type filter is set, and where administrator notifications are sent.

## Table Details

The properties returned are for the combination of the following Exchange PowerShell commands. For more information on the command please see the Microsoft documentation:

* [Get-MalwareFilterPolicy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/get-malwarefilterpolicy?view=exchange-ps)
* [Get-MalwareFilterRule](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/get-malwarefilterrule?view=exchange-ps)

Every row is a policy. **Rule Name**, **Priority**, **Recipient Domain Is**, and **State** come from the rule paired with that policy, and everything else comes from the policy itself.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The built-in default policy shows no **Rule Name**, **Priority**, **Recipient Domain Is**, or **State**, and cannot be enabled or disabled from this page. Manage it from the Microsoft 365 Defender portal or with a CIPP standard instead.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cipp.app/user-documentation/email/reports/malware-filters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
