Windows Rights Management Service is the answer. It is free and integrated into Office and of course Outlook. /Gill _____ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Dzek Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 12:09 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Prevent forwarding email for confidential or private sensativity Isn't it funny how the dead-in-dog-years email program you used to have (cc:Mail) has the ONE function that the President of the company wants to use that doesn't seem to exist in the brand new email software (Exchange 2003/Outlook) that we just paid a bazillion dollars for...? In cc:Mail when you marked an email as "private" it would block the accidental forwarding of email. I know that if you really WANTED to forward the email outside the company it was just a matter of copy and paste. But it did stop the brain-fart type forwarding where the users just push a button because it is too easy, or they simply ignored the bright red text at the top of the message that reads "This is a confidential message from the big cheese, don't send this out to anyone." Any functionality in Exchange that I can use to duplicate this feature? I have been poking around Google for a while and nothing is surfacing. It mostly returns hits on how to encrypt messages.
