Excluding emails from network quota surfing

Question

Good day 
 We want to configure network quota surfing on users .. but we want to exclude emails from being accounted for .. like when the users has depleted his or her data for the day, but we want email to continue flowing. 
 Is there a way to achieve this.

Hi Anesu, 
 This can be done in both ways, 
 Option 1.: 
 Create a separate Rule allowing email traffic and services and placing it before the surfing quota FW rule. 
 
 Pro: this won&rsquo;t hinder your email services as the firewall will read the allow rule (email traffic) first before the surfing quota 
 cons: Two firewall rules

Option 2: 
 Adding the email traffic and services in the exclusion of the Surfing quota firewall rule.
