Adding a confidentiality message into exchange 2003

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.”
