• To, Cc, and Bcc values are self-explanatory and correspond to the addressing fields of e-mail messages.
  
  
• Redirect delivers the message only to the specified recipient. The message isn't delivered to any of the original recipients.

The specified DSN code must be an existing default DSN code or a customized DSN status code that you can create by using the New-SystemMessage cmdlet.

EventMessage

Single string

EventMessage accepts a single string displayed in an event log, which is added to the application event log on the local computer.

FallbackAction

Single value with the choices of Wrap, Ignore, or Reject

FallbackAction specifies what the transport rule should do if a disclaimer can't be applied to an e-mail message such as when a message is encrypted. The default fallback action is Wrap. Enclose the value in quotation marks ("). The following list shows each fallback action and its description:

• Wrap   If the disclaimer can't be inserted into the original message, Exchange encloses, or wraps, the original message in a new message envelope. Then the disclaimer is inserted into the new message.
  
  

  Important:
  If an original message is wrapped in a new message envelope, subsequent transport rules are applied to the new message envelope, and not to the original message. Therefore, you must configure transport rules with disclaimer actions that wrap original messages in a new message body after you configure other transport rules.

  Note:
  If the original message can't be wrapped in a new message envelope, the original message isn't delivered. The sender of the message receives an NDR that explains why the message wasn't delivered.

• Ignore   If the disclaimer can't be inserted into the original message, Exchange lets the original message continue unmodified. No disclaimer is added.
  
  
• Reject   If the disclaimer can't be inserted into the original message, Exchange doesn't deliver the message. The sender of the message receives an NDR that explains why the message wasn't delivered.
  
  

HeaderValue

Single string

HeaderValue accepts a single string that's applied to the header specified by using the MessageHeader action property. Enclose the string in quotation marks (").

Single string

Prefix

Single string

Prefix accepts a string that's prepended to the subject of the e-mail message. Enclose the string in quotation marks (").

To prevent the string that's specified with the Prefix transport rule action from being added to the subject every time that a reply to the message encounters the transport rule, add the SubjectContains exception to the transport rule.

The SubjectContains exception should contain the string that you specified with the Prefix transport rule action. If you add the SubjectContains exception to the transport rule, the transport rule doesn't add another instance of the Prefix string to the subject if the Prefix string already appears in the subject.

RejectReason

Single string

RejectReason accepts a string that's used to populate the administrator information portion of the NDR returned to the e-mail sender if an e-mail message is rejected. Enclose the string in quotation marks (").
