An email containing a URL passes through the Cisco ESA that has content filtering disabled...

Web reputation score is a feature that allows Cisco ESA to evaluate the reputation of URLs in messages based on real-time data from Talos intelligence and apply appropriate actions, such as block, quarantine, or deliver.

To ensure that Cisco ESA evaluates the web reputation score before permitting this email, the administrator should use two criteria to create a content filter or message filter that matches this email and applies an action of “check web reputation”:

Sender matches test1.com, which means that the sender’s domain name is test1.com.

Email body contains a URL, which means that the message body has one or more URLs in it.

The other options are not valid criteria to ensure that Cisco ESA evaluates the web reputation score before permitting this email, because they do not match this email or they are not relevant to web reputation score.
