This part of the settings lets you create rules to process incoming, outgoing, and internal mails.
There is an overview that shows you the number of activated rules for each type of email.
By clicking on one of the types you open their detailed view. Here, you can add, delete, or modify rules.
Incoming (receive)
Mails of this type are currently incoming and have not yet been processed. At this stage they can still be rejected.
Incoming (accepted)
Mails of this type have already been accepted and can no longer be rejected.
Outgoing
Mails of this type are being sent outwards from the local server.
Internal
Mails of this type are being sent inside of your local network.
The Exchange Server Toolbox automatically creates spam filtering and anti-virus rules on installation.
Furthermore, default rules for deleting potentially dangerous attachments are created during the installation. These rules need to be enabled manually if you want to use them.
Rules are applied to the messages in the same order as they are listed. Therefore, you can reorder them by clicking the "Up" and "Down" arrows.
To modify rules you can use the toolbar at the top or you can double click a single rule to open the editor.
If a rule is modified or a new rule is added, please specify the conditions and actions which should be applied to the messages. An existing rule can be further edited and extended by various parameters. Through colorizing a rule you can group them visually. The color appears as background color in the rules list overview.
The rules for each type of email are displayed in a table.
