Mike, usually something like GFI is used for such a thing. Anti-Virus vendors often have similar items as well. What you're looking for is something that scan attachments for content and look for keywords. Keep in mind that it's not a best practice to put Exchange FE servers in the DMZ and that people who want to send confidential information out via email are often smart enough to encrypt it, use an alternate email system or use a USB device to off-load the confidential data. Assuming they intend to do it of course :) Al _____ From: Mike French [mailto:mikef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 2:17 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Attachment auditing http://www.MSExchange.org/ Here is the scenario: We are deploying an exchange 2003 box with a front-end in the DMZ. The client wants to be able to audit all outbound attachments; he is concerned about sensitive documents leaving the organization. I found information about archiving all e-Mail in the org but, this is much more then he wants to deal with. I haven't checked if GFI has some tool to do this but, will after I send this. I would rather get something canned as opposed to using a custom event sink. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
