Bounced Email Message, and setting Automatic Footers

[MillMaster]

I have two problems I need some advice on:

First, is there a way that I can set exchange to send custom "bounced email" messages when users try to email a user who has had their account deactivated or deleted?

If not is there a general setting for a custom message for ALL undeliverable emails on our server?


Second, is there a way I can set a footer to automatically be appended to the bottom of ANY email sent from our exchange server? For legal reasons we want to have a disclaimer at the bottom of every email we send, and rather than have everyone change their signatures in outlook I would like to do it on a server level if possible.

Thank you in advance for any help with this...

Hi MillMaster,

See this link for adding footers to your e-mails:

Obviously you want to append to the e-mails, and if you do it the above way, it will only apply to messages leaving your organisation, so internal e-mails won't be clogged up with your disclaimer.

On that note, if you have a corporate website, get the disclaimer stuck on a page like

http://www.yourcompany.com/disclaimer

and just have your disclaimer read something like:

"This e-mail is subject to the disclaimer

http://www.yourcompany.com/disclaimer"

It takes up so much less space and generates hits to your website, double the usefulness!

On the customising messages part, i'm not sure but am looking...

Hope this helps!

On your second question, all of the answers look like no i'm afraid...

However...

If you use Exchange 2003 SP2 with the Intelligent Message Filter (IMF) there is a "tweak" which might work for you...

Thanx loaded, but that link is for Exchange 5.5. But it did lead me to the threads that describe that 2000/03/07 use VB scripting to append stuff to the end of messages.
