RightPostmaster for Microsoft Exchange 2007/2010


Version: 1.0.0.2
This version can work on Exchange 2007 SP 1 with Update Rollup 4 or a later update rollup installed. 


Purpose

Consider an Exchange 2007/2010 server that hosts multiple mail domains, e.g. domain1.com, domain2.com,domain3.com. The Exchange server is a member of the Active Directory domain ad.domain0.com. If the Exchange server generates a Non-Delivery Report, for example because someone has sent a message to wrongaddress@domain2.com, then the sender address of this NDR is always postmaster@ad.domain0.com.
RightPostmaster for Microsoft Exchange 2007/2010 application can correlate NDR with domains, so that a NDR related to domain2.com will be sent from postmaster@domain2.com, and a NDR related to domain3.com will be sent from postmaster@domain3.com.

About this demo version. 

RightPostmaster demo version always adds "DEMO." after @ to postmaster's e-mail address in a NDR.
So, if you send a message to wrongaddress@domain1.com, you receive a NDR from
    postmaster@DEMO.domain1.com
Also RightPostmaster demo version adds [RightPostmaster 2007 DEMO] to the Subject line of each message processed. 
Full product version will generate the following NDR originator address:
    postmaster@domain1.com
and do not change the Subject line.
