2. Selecting Conditions and Exceptions
Because conditions and exceptions are both involved
in identifying whether a given message should be processed by the rule,
it should be no surprise that they give you the same set of options.
Which options you get depends on whether you're creating the rule on a
Hub Transport or Edge Transport server. The Exchange 2010 help files
contain detailed descriptions of how each of these conditions and
exceptions are defined and applied, but the following discussion should
help you get an idea of what types of selection criteria you have
available at your fingertips.
2.1. Hub Transport Conditions and Exceptions
