Conditions and Actions list

This page contains the actual list of conditions and actions available in the latest version of MAPILab Rules for Exchange. You can use the form on the right to suggest new conditions or actions be added to the program.

Creating a rule in MAPILab Rules for Exchange consists of three stages: specifying one of the four primary conditions, specifying several secondary conditions and specifying one or several actions that should be performed.

Primary Conditions

The presence of primary conditions is determined by the peculiarities in the technical implementation of how incoming messages are processed. These conditions serve as the basis for secondary conditions and actions available later. For example, the action “move it to the specified subfolder of the recipient's mailbox” is available only if the primary conditions clearly define that the incoming message goes to some mailbox, but not to a public folder.

  • When a message is delivered anywhere — all incoming messages are processed.
  • When a message is delivered to any mailbox — all incoming messages going to user mailboxes are processed.
  • When a message is delivered to the specified public folder tree — all messages going to the specified tree of public folders are processed. By default, Exchange Server contains only one tree of public folders named “Public Folders”.
  • When a message is delivered to specified recipient — all messages to the specified recipients are processed. Recipients can be both user mailboxes and mail-enabled public folders.
  • When a message is delivered to the member of the specified address list — all messages going to the recipients that are members of the specified address list are processed.

Secondary Conditions

  • subject line contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the message subject.
  • message body contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the message body.
  • subject line or message body contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the message subject and body at once.
  • message header contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the service header of the message. For example: "message header contains X-Spam-Flag: Yes".
  • message header meets specified criterion — imposes a limitation on the service header of the message. For example: "message header X-Spam-Score value is more or equal than 5".
  • recipient's address contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the recipient's address. Attention: both To: and CC: message headers are checked.
  • sender's address contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the sender's address. The From: message header is checked.
  • To field contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the To: message header.
  • Cc field contains specific words — imposes a limitation on the Cc: message header.
  • sender is in the specified address list — imposes a limitation on the sender's address.
  • sender's email is in the specified file — imposes a limitation on the sender's address.
  • has an attachment — the message must have one or several attachments.
  • marked as importance — the message importance must coincide with the specified one.
  • marked as sensitivity — the message sensitivity must coincide with the specified one.
  • assigned to specified category — the message category must be one of the specified ones.
  • assigned to specified message class — imposes a limitations on the message class. For example: "IPM.Post", "IPM.Note".
  • with a size in a specific range — imposes a limitation on the overall message size. Both maximum and minimum size can be specified.
  • with an attachment of the specified type — imposes a limitation on the attachment type. The specified file masks are checked.
  • with attachments size in a specific range — imposes a limitation on the attachment size. It is possible to check both the total size of all attachments and the size of the largest attachment.
  • received in a specific date/time span — imposes a limitation on a date/time when a message is received.

Actions

  • move it to the specified public folder — moves the message to the specified public folder. In case there are several trees of public folders in the organization, it is possible to select them.

  • move it to the specified subfolder of the recipient's mailbox — moves the message to the specified folder of the recipient's mailbox.

In the last case it is possible to specify subfolders dividing them with a forward slash "/". For example: "move it to the Web Site/Comments subfolder of the recipient's mailbox". It is also possible to automatically create the specified folder in case it does not exist.
  • forward it to specified e-mails — forwards the message to the specified list of e-mail addresses.

It is also possible to automatically create the specified folder in case it does not exist.

The sender's address is specified in the properties of this action. It can be specified manually or it can be specified that the original message recipient's address should be used.
