What are the system requirements?
CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro consists of 2 components:
- the Administration Panel – a client application with adjustable access rights, in which a user configures email rules and program’s settings;
- the Exchange Rules Service – a host module responsible for distributing and enforcing rules in an organization. Both components have slightly different system requirements (only 64-bit platforms are supported):
Administration Panel
- Windows Server 2022 / 2019 / 2016
- Windows 11 / 10
The Administration Panel can be installed on any machine (server and client) in your domain.
Exchange Rules Service
Operating system:
- Windows Server 2022 / Windows Server 2019 (including the Server Core version) / 2016
Exchange Server:
- Exchange 2019 and 2016 with Mailbox role
For more information see this user's manual article.
How do I install CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro?
First install the Exchange Rules Service on each mail processing server (with the Mailbox role) in your organization. Then install at least one Administration Panel on any machine inside your domain that meets these system requirements. The Administration Panel will connect to the Exchange Rules Service, which in turn will take care of distributing settings between servers and enforcing rules.
If you are running Exchange 2013 SP1, please consult this KB article before installing the program.
Instances of the Administration Panel can also be used by non-admin staff, provided that the designated users are granted necessary rule management permissions.

Can it add different signatures to emails sent to different external domains?
Yes, it can. CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro allows to set up different rules that will insert different signatures to emails sent to specific domains that match external domains specified in the rules’ conditions.
Can users choose which signatures will be added to their emails?
Yes, they can. This is possible if rule’s conditions and/or exceptions are based on the content of email body and/or email subject.
For example, if you configure the following rule where a condition is: Body > contains keyword > insert_sig, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro will look for the phrase "insert_sig" in email body and, upon finding the phrase, add whatever signature you have set up. With these settings, the signature will only be applied if a user puts the "insert_sig" phrase in their email. Phrases can be used in rule’s exceptions as well.
Can a signature be visible while composing an email?
No, it can’t. This is not possible to see a signature while composing an email as signatures are added directly on the server, after hitting the Send button. However, you can enable the Sent Items Update feature to update messages in users’ Sent Items folders. Learn more about the Sent Items Update…
Does it apply rules to emails sent from mobile devices and email clients other than Outlook? What about Mac?
Yes, it does. CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro can apply signatures to any messages (internal, outgoing or incoming) traveling through your mail processing servers, regardless of the email client or mobile device it was sent from. iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and other smartphones are all supported. The same goes for OWA and standalone email clients such as Outlook, Apple Mail (Mac), Entourage and Thunderbird.

Can non-IT staff, e.g. Marketing department, use it without accessing any other server settings?
Yes, they can. The architecture of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro allows the server administrator to delegate selected rule configuration duties to other employees (e.g. email signature management to the Marketing team), without risking security or privacy breaches. Learn more here...
Can the program save attachments sent from external email addresses to one location?
Yes, it can. This is possible thanks to the strip/dump attachments feature. You can decide e.g. whether to save or remove attachments, where to save them, or what structure should have the folder with attachments. Learn more about this functionality...
Does it overwrite signatures created by end-users?
At this moment, no. To achieve this, you can use Microsoft's built-in tools:
Can the program send auto replies to emails outside working hours?
Yes, it can. CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro allows creating rules that will automatically send replies to emails outside working hours.
Are the program's actions, e.g. centrally added signatures. visible when a user composes a new email?

The effects of the program's actions can, however, be displayed in users' Sent Items folders, after a message has been processed. Learn more here ...
Can I create a professional server-level sales or marketing auto response?
Yes, you can. CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro features the fully customizable server-level autoresponder action, which lets you automatically reply to selected incoming messages with a pre-designed email template.

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro is compatible with hybrid environments (Exchange on-premises + Office 365 (Microsoft 365)) that have centralized mail transport enabled. For more on deployment and integration with hybrid Exchange read this article.
However, if you have a cloud-only Office 365 environment (with no Exchange server deployed) and you still need an email signature manager to create organization-wide email signatures, consider our CodeTwo Email Signatures 365.
If you have CodeTwo Exchange Rules licenses and plan to migrate to Office 365 / Microsoft 365, we can offer you an attractive discount on CodeTwo Email Signatures 365. Also, you can transfer your existing email signature, disclaimer, and auto-reply rules and templates using CodeTwo Exchange Rules Converter.
Can the application be used in Google Workspace/G Suite organizations?
No, it cannot. CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro is designed for environments based on the Exchange Server.
Is there an SDK for the API?
Yes, there is. Starting from version 2.0, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro 2.x includes its own WCF based API which is available at customer request.
Why do I need this product?
If you are an Exchange administrator, you know that the email flow and content control options offered by MS Exchange Server mail flow rules leave a lot to be desired.

- Add signatures directly under the latest reply in email conversations
- Show signatures appended on the server in the “sent items” folder of the sender’s email client
- Use custom Active Directory fields
- Give non-IT staff restricted remote access to rules and signatures
- Schedule autoresponders
