Detailed Description
Outlook protection rules are administrator-created rules applied before a user sends a message using Outlook. Outlook protection rules are used to automatically Information Rights Management (IRM)-protect email messages using a Rights Management Services (RMS) template before the message is sent. However, Outlook protection rules don't inspect message content. To rights-protect messages based on message content, use transport protection rules.
For more information, see Outlook Protection Rules.
