I've used the "instructions" provided by Microsoft and others to add an email disclaimer through Exchange 5.5 to no avail. IT WILL NOT WORK! Does anyone know anything about adding these???
 
There are step by step instrunctions on MS site for this under 5.5, With 2000 however you must get 3rd party s/w.

BUT you may as well add this because the disclaimer really isn't worth a pinch of salt.

IMPORTANT ANTI-DISCLAIMER
This email is not and cannot, by its nature, be confidential. En route from
me to you, it will pass across the public Internet, easily readable by any
number of system administrators along the way.
If you have received this message by mistake, it would be ridiculous of me
to tell you to not to read it or copy it to anyone else. Let's face it, if it is a
message revealing confidential information or that which would embarrass
me intensely, that's precisely what you'll do isn't it? Who wouldn't?
Likewise, it is superfluous for me to claim copyright in/of the contents,
because I own that anyway, even if you print a hardcopy or disseminate
this message all over the known universe.
What's this "may or may not be the views of..." business anyway, it either is
or isn't. Seems to nullify any authenticity whatsoever and make all information
received by email useless.
I don't know why so many corporate mail servers feel impelled to attach a
disclaimer to the bottom of every email, if you don't either, why not email your
corporate lawyers and ask them why they insist that the system administrators
must do this and therefore contribute to the waste of bandwidth.
