The problem that makes the event sink needed more complicated than the sample is that you have to be able to discern internal and external messages and you have to be able to modify plain text (easy), HTML (mostly easy), multipart MIME (a little tricky), and RTF (nasty) messages; all without screwing them up and invalidating signatures and the content.
There was also a problem with the sample where it exposed a bug that caused the store to crash if I remember correctly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Dickenson Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 9:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Disclaimers - Are event sinks safe? My administration is asking me to look into the technical ability to add disclaimers to all outgoing SMTP mail. They were not interested in my opinions or research into the common-sense and legal questions surrounding these damn things. In any case, the FAQ mentions the possibility of using an event sink with sample code from Q317327. However, the FAQ also mentions this is not 100% safe or reliable. Is this still the case? We're running a single Exchange 2003 server, which sits behind a Linux SMTP gateway. All outgoing mail is forwarded to the Linux box. I thought about adding the disclaimers at the gateway, but most of the techniques will mess up signed messages and will have trouble with multi-part MIME messages. I'm more than happy to quote a high-priced product to do this on the Exchange server, with the hopes that it will push the idea out of their minds. Plus, most of the cheap products seem to be nothing more than an event sink with an interface. However, if I can do with a bit of VB code, I'm obligated to mention that, also.
