Signature Manager Exchange Edition settings

Option

Summary

Enable Signature Manager Exchange Edition Policies

Enable or disable all signature policies. If this option is not set to enabled, Exclaimer signature policies will not be applied to your organization's email messages.

Handled message classes

This section determines the type (class) of messages that will be handled by Signature Manager Exchange Edition. By default, the class for email messages (IPM.Note.*) is defined and under typical circumstances, this is sufficient.

However, some organizations may wish to add signatures to other types of Outlook items - for example, to meeting requests or calendar appointments. If you wish to apply Signature Manager Exchange Edition to other items, use the add option to add the relevant class.

Show unhandled messages in status view

Select this option to report unhandled messages in the Windows event log.

Changes are retained if you move to other tabs within the content pane. When you are satisfied that all tabs have been updated correctly, click the save button to save changes across all tabs. Alternatively, use the cancel button to abandon all changes.

Summary

When a fault is encountered during the processing of a message

Deliver the message anyway

In the event of a fault, deliver the message at whichever point it got to through Signature Manager Exchange Edition processing and do not take a quarantine copy. In this situation, the only indication that something went wrong would be an error in the Windows event log.

Quarantine the message

In the event of a fault, quarantine the message and do not attempt delivery.

Quarantine the message and deliver the original

In the event of a fault, quarantine the message and deliver the message in its original form. In this situation, a copy of the message is stored in the quarantine folder for later analysis, and the message is sent at whichever point it got to through processing.

If quarantine fails

Deliver the message anyway

If a quarantine setting is selected but quarantine is not possible at the time of a fault, deliver the message anyway.

Stop the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service

If a quarantine setting is selected but quarantine is not possible at the time of a fault, stop the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service so that all incoming and outgoing messages are stopped. To apply this setting, account credentials must be provided for a user with appropriate permissions to stop this service.

Quarantine will fail if there are more than xx messages in the quarantine folder

Use this option to specify a number of messages to be quarantined before quarantine fails and any 'if quarantine fails' actions come into force.

Quarantine Folder
