DLP Exceptions issues

Hi,

 

We are trying to setup a DLP Policy that does the following:

If an email is sent to either gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc forward that email for approval to X users except if the sender of the email is "xyz@company.com" or "abc@company.com".

 

We have created a new DLP Policy, as follows:

• Exchange email (all included, none excluded). No other Location is selected

Customized DLP Rule:

• Recipient domain is: hotmail.com, gmail.com, yahoo.com etc
• Except if sender is: "xyz@company.com" or "abc@company.com"
• Action: Forward message to X for approval

Turn the Policy on right away.

 

If i send an email from xyz@company.com to james@hotmail.com, this should go through without being forwarded for approval, but this is not the case and the email is forwarded for approval.

 

I cannot see what i am doing wrong here.

 

thank you,
