If you require all outgoing messages to include a confidentiality statement there are three options.

1 - Safe and Simple - Add the text onto the end of the Business Signature. If you don’t already have a Business Signature now is a great time to get one setup and do the confidentiality message at the same time.

2 - Get some software - PolicyPatrol - This software offers automation of Confidentiality statements and Signatures. The cost of this software is about $250 for a 25 user network.

3 - Get your hands dirty - KB317327 - This gives you the code to write your own .DLL file and attach it to the SMTP feed of your exchange server. As I can’t even begin to think about attempting this I really can’t recommend it unless you know what you are doing. My rule is normally - “If YOU can’t fix it - don’t do it.”

If you need to diagnose something by using Telnet you could be a little disappointed when you get command not recognised.

Good news however - the telnet client is there just not installed by default.

See here for more information -

If you need to install a self signed certificate on a windows vista computer then you can follow these instructions -

Visit the website with the untrusted certificate. You will see the warning message as shown below, choose continue anyway.

On the address bar you will see a message for a certificate error. Click on this and choose view certificate.

You will now see a certificate just like in windows XP except the option to Install Certificate is missing… This is because I.E. no longer runs with administrative privilages - even if you are an administrator.

You can launch IE with administrative privilages by right clicking on the IE icon and choosing run as administrator.

Once you click on “Run as Administrator” you will get a security warning which you must agree to.

You can then navigate back to the secure website and click to view the certificate. This time you will recive the option to install the certificate.

On the Install certificate wizard you should choose to specify where the certificate should be installed and add it to the trustsed root store.

You will get one final warning message and then you will be ready to go
