It has been a while since the last major update, but the new version of messageconcept ExSBR comes with many new features and two entirely new routing types.
The new Transport Rule Routing allows complex routing scenarios by integrating with the huge capabilities of the Microsoft Exchange Transport Rules. You are able to execute a routing decision based on conditions in the Transport Rules. Routing by subject or in relation to the message recipients becomes possible.
Besides Sender Based Routing, ExSBR now also comes with a Multi-Tenant Routing component. Messages between tenants will be routed as if they would be sent to an external party. You are able to define a default connector for your Multi-Tenant Exchange Server Organization as well as dedicated connectors per tenant. A Tenant can be defined based on Address Book Policies or on SMTP Domains.
Besides that, the logging and monitoring of ExSBR has improved. As debug logging and immediate configuration reload can be enforced, you even need less service restarts.
The new release includes the following new and improved features:
- New: Transport Rule Routing for complex scenarios.
- New: Multi-Tenant Routing for Hosted Exchange scenarios.
- New: Optional scheduled event allows monitoring of ExSBR.
- New: Improved logging in Event Log.

- New: Configuration refresh can be enforced without service restart while software is running.
