It also supports rule-based forwarding using keyword matching and other criteria for precise, targeted delivery. After long-term internal testing, the system runs stably without crashes, achieving a forwarding success rate of up to 100%. Core Features 1. Rule Matching Precise control over forwarding templates and accurate rule-based matching. 2.
