SelectiveSenderName for Microsoft Exchange 2007/2010

Purpose

SelectiveSenderName application allows you to set "Simple Display Name" attribute as a display name of the sender based on recipient's e-mail domain or on recipient's group membership. The application includes a program to define e-mail domains and groups that will be affected. It also provide an easy way to modify Simple Display Name value of any mail-enabled Active Directory object. As a result, you have a regular Exchange display name like usual but then have a different external one which everbody who you send emails to sees.

This application provides an ability to use different sender display names for internal and external e-mails.

• Scenario 1.
  Your organization used to place to the user Display Name the things like department name, job code, title, etc...
  You don't want that information being sent to external recipients.
  
• Scenario 2.
  Active directory Display Names use non-western symbols, but you wish the sender name will contain only ASCII symbols in the external e-mails addressed to the certain e-mail domains.

Microsoft is supporting this feature in Exchange 2003 and in Exchange 2007 but not in Exchange 2010.

The application is a transport agent for Exchange server.
