CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2003 – major update

Dear CodeTwo Exchange Rules users. We have just updated CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2003 to version 3.2. These are the fixes for the most common issues you have been reporting for the past few months. We did our best to meet your requirements and we do hope you will be satisfied with this release. It’s a major update since we’ve fixed 9 bugs in the application. Take a look at the list of the fixes below:

  • Delivery reports were not delivered for internal messages.
  • AD contacts were treated by the application as internal users.
  • In certain cases the application added the signature to encrypted messages.
  • In very complicated Exchange environments the application did not deliver messages to distribution groups.
  • When sending a message to the distribution group plus one of its members, the message could be delivered duplicated.
  • Messages might not be delivered to members of distribution groups if forwarding was configured between the members of these groups.
  • If non-standard AD attributes were used in the signature (extended AD scheme) the internal users might be treated as external.
  • When testing scenarios in the built-in rule tester based on membership to AD groups, the application returned an error.
  • Statistics files after changing the settings to non-default were reset.

In order to update CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2003 to version 3.2, simply download the program and install it on top of the existing version. The previous version will be automatically detected and patched. The update is dedicated for users of 3.x and is free of charge. Detailed information on the update procedure can be found here.

Please note! Server reboot will be required after the installation has been finished.

Email Disclaimers

isclaimer/ExclaimerProbably everyone who uses email has already had chance to see these mysterious faded lines attached under corporate messages. Email disclaimers are invaluable for businesses in these days when taking someone to court for no reason happens on a daily basis. No matter if you’re negotiating a big business deal or buying a watch in an on-line shop, it’s certain that you will find a short legal statement under a reply to your official email. And it is not only a matter of fashion or a popular whim that forces senders to add those stiff juridical sentences under the body of their emails. It is simply a must-have for everyone who wants to be in keeping with legal regulations and prevent him or herself from damaging implications of sending a business message.

CodeTwo Exchange Rules 3.1 – Minor Update

We have released a minor update versioned 3.1 to CodeTwo Exchange Rules, an application used in the management of disclaimers and signatures in Exchange mail. The new items in the program include:

  • Extra Active Directory cache has been added to the application. This will reduce the queries to Active Directory leading to enhanced performance.
  • It is possible now to add custom Active Directory fields used by the program. The file containing custom variables named SchemaExtension.txt must be placed in the installation directory of the application. The newly added variables are available in the signature editor after restarting the server. Read more about how to add new AD fields to the program.
  • New installer for a desktop installation. It is possible to install the program on a desktop without Exchange. This is useful for customers who want non-admin users without access to Exchange to prepare the settings and footer templates to be later copied to the server. Read more about how to use the desktop version.
  • The rare problem in which messages containing large attachments or addressed to large distribution groups were not delivered has been fixed.

For a full list of changes, please see the version history page.

The update is dedicated for users of 3.0 and is free of charge. To update the currently used version with the fix, download and run the installer. The previous version will be automatically detected and patched. Detailed information on the update procedure can be found here.

Disable Outlook signatures remotely

A vast number of our users have been asking questions about disabling Outlook signatures that, once CodeTwo Exchange Rules is on board, seem not to be important anymore. If you have thousands of users, asking them to switch Outlook signature off or (God forbid!) doing it alone one-by-one might do more harm than good.

However, you can use Group Policy Object, the tool for Exchange server, and disable adding all signatures created in Outlook. Step-by-step guide to disabling Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 signatures for Exchange users can be found in knowledge base in an article entitled: How to disable adding signatures created in Outlook for Exchange users
