SUMMARY

You may want to add a disclaimer to all outgoing e-mail messages. Exchange
Server does not have this capability.

MORE INFORMATION
================

There are several third-party products that you can add to Exchange Server to
provide this capability.

For more information about third-party products that provide the ability to add a
disclaimer to all e-mail messages, refer to the following Web page:

· A basic file virus scanner
· Compression agent for attachments

It is posible to add the disclaimer using the IMSEXT.DLL in Resource Kit but as for adding each users email address and Name as a variable, you will have to use Outlook autosignature - Microsoft is not that bright.

Nemx Power Tools for Exchange (Advanced Edition) also provides the capability to provide a disclaimer on all outbound messages. It's a graphical tool as opposed to using the IMSEXT.DLL method and manually editing the registry. However, it too is limited in that you cannot use variables such as an email address.

im kinda a bit dubious of twiddling with the serv reg just for the sake of a disclaimer. Does anybody have any info on known (if there are any)problems using the imsext.dll method?

Thanks in advance and for the help so far!

I have used this method (IMSEXT.DLL) in a production environment without experiencing any problems. I have also dealt with other Exchange Administrators who have used the same method without problems. If you want, I can email you documentation on exactly how we set it up, notes that we took during testing, etc.

My email address is btolloty@ctnet.com. Let me know if you're interested...

I have implemented it successfully using the zip file I have now emailed to mantislee who will hopefully post it on the Internet for all to see.

It is significantly easier than installing Exchange server. And I thought that was easy too....

Hi everyone!! i've tested the imsext.dll and it works.
However, there's a doubt....on modifying the corporate message in the registry.
since it's a string value, how do i modify it in such a way that it includes "carriage return" as well?

eg.
*******************<carriage return>
This email is confidential.....<carriage return>
*******************<carriage return>


Appreciate your assistance here.

Thks/Zan
