Kind of along the same lines, my boss wants to add a legal disclaimer to the
bottom of every e-mail. I tried using a trailer.txt file but with users
using Outlook sending html e-mails and e-mails w/ attachments it isn't
consistent. Do any of you know a consistent method for accomplishing this at
the server level?
We are a small business (under 150 employees). Our COO and legal counsel
says that our daily backup of users PST files is sufficient holding of old
e-mail should legalities require it. He also wants this disclaimer to
basically say...
"This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
If you have received this email in error please notify the originator of
the message.
Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender,
except where the sender specifies and with authority, states them to be the
views of Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc.
This Footer also confirms that this email message has been scanned for the
presence of computer viruses using Declude Antivirus and CA eTrust
Antivirus."
I guess that helps in some way.

> If you are privately held, then you must do as your boss dictates...
Private corporations are subject to plenty of regulations; SEC and
HIPAA just as valid for private as for public, if your line of
business is relevant. Sarbanes-Oxley does not technically apply to
private companies, but is being adopted as a best practice by
companies that may go public or have business relationships with
public companies.
This doesn't mean that a mom-and-pop bakery needs to comply with
anything. But the questions I would ask are:
- How do I track delivery failures without logs?
- Does the boss really think that stopping logging--which gives _less_
info than, say, sniffing the wire or opening MBXs--adds to security?
- Does the boss understand that Exchange allows head-of-household
Administrators (that is, admins who have no technical superiors at a
site) to manage their own permissions to mailboxes?
- Has he ever heard of encryption?
Generally, I wouldn't worry about the legal angle for a small private
company that makes an legally-informed decision not to keep logs--I'd
worry about the stupidity.
