Syntax
email-analysis impersonation add <name1>[,<name2>,...] <email-address1>[,<email-address2>,...]
Parameters
<name>
A valid name of an email sender. Enclose names in double quotation marks to include multiple parts of a name, such as first and last name.
<email-address>
A valid email address of an email sender.
Example
The following example adds an impersonation rule with the valid names and email addresses of an executive of ABC Company, Patti Smithers:
hostname (config) # email-analysis impersonation add "Patti Smithers","Pat Smithers" psmithers@abccompany,pat.smithers@abcgroup.com
