CI-Mail-Policy CI-Mail-Policy is a server-side tool for processing in for incoming and outgoing mails on Exchange Server. It uses a similar approach to managing mail like rules in Outlook: you specify set of conditions and actions - a Rule. On message arrival, Mail-Policy checks conditions for each Rule and if conditions match, it executes actions. Simple and powerful and no scripts or coding needed. Here is some use cases:
- Disclaimers and signatures. You can set disclaimer for incoming, outgoing and internal mail. Disclaimer can be in text, html and rtf format or as attachment. Placement of disclaimer is also customizable - top, bottom of message or in text. Pictures and custom formatting are supported. Disclaimers support macros so you can specify some macros in text of disclaimer, and Mail-Policy will resolve these macros with information from Active Directory. (See Attachment: template.jpg)
We create a simple signature, with two macros "@@givenName" and "@@sn" and set Rule "Add disclaimer for outgoing messages". We didn t set condition - that means all outgoing messages will be with your signature. (See Attachment:finished.jpg)

- Attachment management.
- Blocking messages.
- Application execution per message. You can specify application to run, when a message arrived.
- Tune and test rules with reports. Before you set rules for production server, you can test it with message reports. These reports contain detailed description of all mail process. (See Attachment:report.jpg)
