That's what I used, but in VBScript (the brother of the article you send).
I indeed can bind that event sink to the default SMTP virtual server, but I don't see the disclaimers on external addresses. Then I saw that Marette had instructions involving some manipulation on SMTP in case you're using SBS. Which also kinda sounds strange. But when I went digging a little bit, I found that clients working with OL, will not have the disclaimer added (MAPI). Finally I'm having the impression that this is kinda made difficult while it should be easy by design... Or I'm a missing something on that point? It's not about the money, at least I don't pay it so don't care. From my point of view, it's the technical aspect that I want to know how it's structured and how to make it work really. That way I gain the knowledge :-) Bart On 8/3/06, Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS Rocks [MVP] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Are you using the SBS's SMTP connector or using the http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317327 info there? Marette's instructions to remove the SBS's native smtp connection, build a new one that listens on port 26, the time it would have taking me to follow her instructions.. I saved the time and money in getting out my credit card and buying an event sink already done.
