Overview

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro is an ultimate mail processing solution for Microsoft Exchange that enables centralized email management in Exchange 2019 and 2016. Unlike the Mailbox role on bare Exchange, the program gives several additional options breaking the standard approach to email rules simultaneously simplifying their creation.

Who is the program for?

The program was designed to ease the Administrators' work while managing email rules within the organization. Thanks to the program, the Administrator may create complex rules for an unlimited number of users in just a few clicks and monitor performance of all instances of the program from a single place. Additionally, the variety of available options gives practically endless possibilities covering even the most demanding needs of global corporations.

How does the program work?

During the installation of the program, the setup installs required services that will later be used to process email rules. One of the two most important components is called Exchange Rules Pro Service - it is directly responsible for processing mail. However, all the tasks performed by the Service are configured within the second component called the Administration Panel, which is the management console of the program.
