RE: Is there any anti-signature software? (icm-computer)
Title: Is there any anti-signature software? (icm-computer) 1. Now I am thinking is there any anti - signature software or procedure? You know like anti-virus with a specific type of file filtering? Sounds like an untapped market. There was a little Outlook client add on called 'Clipper' at one point. It was good for removing text within a message, typically requiring a start and stop. Yahoo used to append an ad at the end after a line '---'. Clipper could be assigned to delete the line and following. It disappeared about a year ago. At the server level, I don't think there is a feasible application if for no reason but the diversity of disclaimers. Why, you'd need the drewski plug-in just to strip those speeches he appends to his posts [1]. 2. If I do not want him to get my emails getting to the exchange list - how would I stop that (besides not sending emails)? You mean exempt him from your posts to the forum? I don't think that would be possible. You could set up a specific rule for this person, I suppose.

RE: OWA usage
Disclaimer: This is only opinion. I would argue vehemently. It is my understanding, one CAL per user/mailbox. No CAL's for resource boxes. The employee does not access from home and from the office at the same time. Or, if that is the case, the server running OWA is the only 'computer' accessing the exchange server. You could write an asp app (your home grown OWA clone) and use CDO to access mailboxes from another computer. Based on that, you could have everyone use this asp app and then only require ONE exchange CAL. William -Original Message- From: Ropiak Steve - NAO Florence Office Exchange and Bar Code Admn.

RE: Please, spare us from Policy Patrol!
I played with their product, disclaimit, in beta about 6 months ago. It was pretty good. I hope my company never forces its use. But for some this is the perfect solution. I already do flash and DHTML in email, so having that within a disclaimer is, well, old hat (using stationery on some apps). It's not something to look forward to, more like something to forget. What is 'efficacy' and do I need mine improved? William -Original Message- From: Dan Schwartz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 10:08 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Please, spare us from Policy Patrol! Starting at the 6th paragraph, read about how Red Earth's Policy Patrol is the Mother Of All Disclaimer Software http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/23732.html: Now, if that corporate caveat really rattled your cage, there's more bad news. In a move that has a ring of horrible inevitability about it, US company Red Earth Software has released Policy Patrol. Apparently, this NEW DISCLAIMER SOFTWARE IMPROVES EFFECT OF DISCLAIMER NOTICE (their caps, btw), offering advanced disclaimer functionality such as user-based disclaimers, formatting and merge fields. These features increase the relevancy of disclaimers and thus improve their efficacy. But how, you gasp, is this possible? Well, Policy Patrol allows companies to add more specific disclaimer notices by offering user-based and context sensitive disclaimers. The user-based disclaimer functionality enables companies to adjust statements according to a particular user or department, therefore increasing the relevance of the disclaimer. Magnus Andersson, technical director of Red Earth Software, continues: We designed Policy Patrol because the current offer of disclaimer functionality is very basic. Larger companies cannot settle for the same disclaimer for everyone within their organization. They need a flexible, professional disclaimer solution that can be adjusted to their exact needs. With the increasing use of disclaimers, non-specific disclaimers are simply not having the desired effect any more. Spot on. And when people start to ignore html formatted disclaimers, we can look forward to Flash pop-up disclaimers and DHTML drop-down caveats. Onwards and upwards.® BOOTNOTE: Since you're no doubt now fired up with renewed enthusiasm for the future of email disclaimers, why not download the Red Earth Software's 'Email disclaimers' white paper here. http://www.policypatrol.com/docs/Emaildisclaimerswp.pdf Disclaimer: We have not in fact ourselves downloaded this disclaimer white paper and can therefore not be held responsible for its content or any side-effects resulting from exposure to same.

RE: Exchange setup question
Hi Eric. What version of exchange have thou? You can have many SMTP domains in Exchange, but with MAPI clients, only one 'reply address'. If you want to change users to the new domain for replying and still retain inbound for the old one in Exchange5.5 you can do one of two things: 1) manually open the properties page for each user for which this change is required. Select the email addresses tab and add a new internet address with the full villagegreen.com domain. Select the new domain in the window and click 'set as reply address' 2) for larger groups of users, a directory export to csv is more practical. You can add the new column (which Kevin or someone will provide... 'secondary-proxy-address' I think) and reimport. There is a KB article on bulk import/export at the source. You could also play around with Site Addressing.

Also been running directory export out of the exchange admin prog, so at least I have something to start a restore with. Also have been running NTBACKUP to dat, but the restore ALWAYS fails cause the dir.edb import restore on another SBS box has different SID's than the source box. MS say's create a recovery server and add it as a BDC to get a correct copy of the SAM BUT SBS can ONLY be a DC, so how can I get a copy of the SAM to the 2nd box? As of now I cant see a way around this recovery server issue and am ready to give up using NTBACKUP all together, cause as far as I can see, it cant be restored to anything. Any thoughts on a workaround for this, and using my present method of Exmerging everyday to DAT? Remember I have ZERO $$$ to work with here. Thanks much in advance..

RE: An odd, but quick, question on Exchange 2k /forestprep
I don't *think* so. It will attempt the same schema changes. William -Original Message- From: Mike Rausch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 12:12 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: An odd, but quick, question on Exchange 2k /forestprep Ok, I running Exchange 2000. What I am wondering is would it cause irreparable harm if you accidentally run setup with the /forestprep switch on a forest that had already been prepped? In our test environment we were rebuilding an Exchange server. Now there was already an Exchange server in the environment (so we had done /forestprep when we installed that one) so I didn't need to do it again when building this most recent one. But without thinking I did. The rest of the install seemed to go fine, but now the new servers Information Stores won't mount. So I am just wondering if it's because I ran the forestprep a second time or a different, yet unkown, reason. I am not hugely concerned. Though rebuilding the test environment would be an bit of a pain, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I am more just curious as I haven't been able to find any info from MS on this.

Sorry, that wasn't helpful, was it? Please read: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/administration/55/BackupRestore.a sp http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/administration/55/Disaster.asp Circular logging is important to allow for restore to point of failure. The logs are purged upon successful online backup. The store will stop when the drive holding the logs falls to 10MB available. You recover from this by doing an online backup. If this is an NTFS partition, as it should be, then you could have compressed a few of those log files to free up some space, restart the store THEN immediately do an online backup.

XCHG2K also hasn't been too popular in the new email market (kinda like XP for OS's). I think the concept and design was excellent but it fell short on the functionality level to me.
