If he actually has a logon warning, a replaced wall paper bitmap, an inline disclaimer in every mail, and a "click ok" acknowledgement for every email, he'll have an average employee retention time of about three days (unless he's in Michigan of course). Though that may be what his management team is after; you never know.

While you're at it, you could place an OK click button on the form that sends a message with the user's information and the text of your policy to a public folder as proof that they read an accepted the terms of your appropriate use policy for every message they send!

They'll pay more attention to that than some lawyertalk added to the bottom of every email automatically.

Seems like you need a popup that will appear BEFORE sending the mail. Not a paragraph that will be added after the e-mail is composed and sent. The message needs to get to the sender not the sendee.

I serious doubt that you do. So why would you remind them every stinking time that they send an eMail of your corporate policy on eMail use? Post the policy where you post all your other corporate policies (Web page, employee handbook, etc) and have them acknowledge that they received a copy. Just like for every other policy in the company. Why is it the senior management across this country (nay, across the world) feels that they have to remind eMail users on a daily basis about corporate policy? They don't prefix every telephone call with a recording reminding them of the appropriate use of the phone? The next time a manager comes to you [1] asking for internal disclaimers, ask them if they are also implementing the phone recording message? It might just make them realize how silly their request is.

I have search Microsoft's Knowledge Base. I have search the FAQ and read FAQ 4.1. However, they talks about adding a disclaimer to external emails. How would we add a disclaimer to our internal messages being sent inside the Company? We basically want to add to every message a statement saying that email is property of the Company and any violation or misuse of the Company's email system will result in flogging and being sent to their room without the use of the facilities for 24 hours! No, but seriously, can this be done just with the Exchange program? Or do we have to use a third-party software to be able to do this internally.
