I wouldn't put it that way; our client base has overwhelmingly corporate--as opposed to consumer--end users. In fact, we specialized in desktop management and single sign-on back in the mid-90's. Why d'ya think we publish scripts for IMail-Exchange integration? :) It's clear that we both know what to expect in a corporate setting. Our difference is one of approach. I believe that problems such as yours are much better solved at the client level; I couldn't imagine having a corporate Outlook/OE installation that's not fully managed using group policies (or ZenWorks, or other equivalent), for both stability and performance. If you can't use GPOs for some reason, the second choice would be bouncing messages that do not match your content restrictions, such as including text/html MIME segments or being generated by a disallowed mailer. Bouncing allows users to recompose using allowed methods and mailers, ensuring that content that is eventually transmitted is still of their creation. A _far_ distant third choice would be changing rich message content n transit without user notification; I can assure you that the more thoroughly you alter messages, the more complaints you will have. Now, if you're lucky enough to rule with an iron fist, these complaints won't matter to you. . . but if you ruled with an iron fist, I'd think everybody would already be hard-locked-down on the desktop, y'know? > We have rules stating no backgrounds or special formating within our > environment. The problem is users don't listen. Again, group policies take "listening" out of the equation. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
