Proceeding To Next Rules
Proceeding to next rules can be set while creating a new rule or editing an existing one in Advanced Options (Fig.1). By default, each rule is configured to stop processing more rules if the current rule has been applied. |

Stop processing more rules if the current rule has been applied box is used to configure the program to stop proceeding to next rules or continue processing them. If the box ix unchecked, once the rule has been applied, CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2003 will move on to the next rule and will check whether it also matches the massage being sent. If the senders and recipients of the message match the criteria of the next rule, the program will add another footer. Depending on the settings you have, the program can be configured to add multiple footers to one message. An example of a practical application of multiple footers is a situation when you want to add company disclaimers and a personalized signature in one message. In this case your company disclaimer must be higher in the list of rules while keeping the signatures down in the list. The option Stop processing more rules if the current rule has been applied must be unchecked for all company disclaimers so that the program could include them and proceed to signatures.
If, however, Stop processing more rules if the current rule has been applied is checked, once the rule has been applied the program will not add any more disclaimers.
The fact that the rule has been applied does not mean that a footer has been added. The rule is considered applied if the message senders and recipients match its criteria. Therefore, even if your message includes a phrase suppressing disclaimers, and hence the footer is not added, this rule has been applied. Another example is the use of Do not insert the disclaimer if it is already found in the message. If this option is checked, the footer will not be added more than once. The message senders and recipients matching the rule criteria, the rule is considered applied. For such rules, when Stop processing more rules if the current rule has been applied is checked, no more rules will be processed even though the footer has not been added.
