Our Solutions with ExSBR
We extend your Exchange Server with an intelligent ruleset to support flexible possibilities to influence the route of your emails to the Internet or to partner organizations in dependence of the sender. Beside the examples here, you find more use cases for ExSBR in the solutions section of our website.
In a joined Microsoft messaging system, shared by multiple companies, we assure, that messages between businesses will be scanned for viruses and SPAM the same way as emails, received from the Internet.
If your corporate compliance policies require the inspection of certain messages, we ensure, that even internal emails of your Microsoft messaging system will be scanned by your compliance gateway.
Companies and authorities are often forced by law or compliance rules to exchange data over dedicated closed networks, independent from the Internet. Our software routes messages via these closed systems.
Many organizations encrypt a part of their email traffic with external partners. We take care, that all messages, which should get encrypted according to your policies, will be routed to your encryption system.
If you act in the name of an affiliated enterprise or a partner company, we enable you to send emails from your Microsoft messaging system with a reply address of your enterprise group or partner organization.
In many countries, it is mandatory to sign certain emails to authorities or business partners with an official electronic signature. We forward these messages via certified providers to the recipients.
We offer various software solutions for small and medium businesses, enterprise companies and authorities. You will find an overview of our entire solution portfolio on the next page.

Success Story
Multi-tenancy in active logistics’ European data center
Our customer active logistics is the European market leader in vertical software solutions for the logistics market. Their software builds and controls logistics chains and organizes large cargo networks. They operate two independent data centers, close to the headquarters and central hubs of several cargo networks in Niederaula in the heart of Germany.
In late 2008 active logistics’ managing director Michael Otto raised two major challenges: “We wanted to unify and consolidate the infrastructures of all subsidiaries. On the other hand our customers wanted us to take the overall responsibility for the ICT operations for our software solutions from a managed desktop to our host systems. Our solutions offer great advantages, especially because we are able to operate the complete ICT infrastructure of our customers.” While the central multi-platform ERP infrastructure supported multi-tenancy from the early beginnings, active logistics was not able to offer the same in the Windows based infrastructure.
The solution was to centralize and standardize the Windows environment. Besides the introduction of central file services and a managed desktop, active logistics implemented a multi-tenant and highly available Exchange Server infrastructure. “We now offer our customers and subsidiaries additional services and are able to reduce manpower requirements at the same time.” says Michael Otto. In Exchange Server active logistics implemented messageconcept ExSBR to control the routing paths of customers’ emails. The customer decided to use ExSBR in Domain Routing mode for most customers. With this configuration, the data center is able to route emails of an entire tenant e.g. to a mail server in the tenant’s on premise infrastructure or to a cloud based service.
“We have been using ExSBR for five years now. The software proved to be a powerful and very reliable solution for us.”

Functionality
Routing by sender’s domain
messageconcept ExSBR changes the Exchange Server default routing. On hub and edge transport servers emails will be routed to different Send Connectors according to the sender’s SMTP domain name. The software makes it possible to setup message routes for different Internet providers or networks. This is the most common usage scenario for many customers.
Routing by group memberships
On hub transport servers emails will additionally be routed according to sender’s group memberships in Active Directory. ExSBR enables you to choose different Send Connectors for specific users or user groups. messageconcept ExSBR even supports nested groups. Therefore you are able to do a role based administration of ExSBR by putting your existing groups into the specific ExSBR groups in Active Directory Users and Computers.
Routing by advanced properties
ExSBR is capable to integrate with Exchange Transport Rules. By using the advanced filtering options of Transport Rules, ExSBR is able to cover almost all routing scenarios, such as routing by email subject or even complex combinations of several filters.
Routing between tenants
ExSBR recognizes tenants by the membership in Exchange Adress Book Policies or by SMTP domains. Messages between two tenants can be routed to an external gateway by ExSBR. The gateway will apply all security policies to the emails, that would also apply for external messages.
