Setting up delivery rules

Delivery rules allow you to assign different message dispatch schedules to messages of different importance. For example, if your organization wants to dispatch messages of low importance to a remote node at times when call charges are lowest, you can set up a delivery rule that assigns a schedule for cheap rate call times to a low importance priority. For each delivery rule you can assign different schedules to messages of high importance, low importance and normal importance.
