Add to that.
If you are a mass mailer (not necessarily spam of course) you won't want to
use a vbscript as an event synch. The performance is not going to be there.
As Mark mentioned, putting it on a gateway server (not the brand, the
architecture :) you will get better performance. In fact, off-loading the
sending to a separate server would be good for other reasons as well, such
as dealing with the NDR's.
I would suggest for the address updates, that you investigate updating your
send to database vs. stopping it at the gateway. Don't even send it
internally if it's not wanted, right?
Note: there are some apps out there for this type of work such as boldfish
that can do what you want as part of their prodcut. There are others, but
this is one such app I know of that specializes in permissions based email
systems for marketing purposes. http://www.boldfish.com/ As I recall, they
do things like keep track of who requested the email, who asked to be
removed, etc.

If you want the EventSink to add a disclaimer then I would personally
recommend looking at a third-party solution, if you have problems with
message delivery in the future and call Microsoft for support, the first
thing they will have you do is remove the event sink as they are prone to
causing problems.

Thanks for the reply.
First of all to be in accordance with the new anti-spam law. We are trying
to develop a webpage that will allow people that have received email from us
to unsubscribe from future mailings. We were thinking that this webpage
could dump the email addresses received into a database, and the Vbscript
would stop any email from being delivered to addresses in this database.
Secondly this vb script would add a disclaimer to all outgoing messages,
giving people the Opt-out hyperlink which would point to the webpage we are
developing.
Thanks
Shannon

What's the end result need to be? What does this widget need to do for you?
One thing to note, if you use a VBSCRIPT synch, you have to be aware of the
performance hit associated. Best practice is to use c++ for event synch's
wherever possible.

We are tring to write a vbscript that will run when an Exchange 2000 event
takes place. However the only Exchange event sink that I am aware of is the
"ISMTPOnArrival" sink. However since we use Outlook 2000 & Exchange 2000,
messages sent from Outlook are in MAPI format. Is there another sink we
could use, that would work for all outgoing messages.
Thanks in advance
Shannon
