You use regular expressions. It's an arbitrary nine-digit number. Exchange 2007 supports that too.

We don't use the feature here yet. I just know that it does exist. I'm not sure how any system could detect it well without the dashes.

Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: questionOut of curiousity - how well does it handle malformed SSNs?
What I mean is, assuming it looks for strings formatted as :
###-##-####
But what happens if it is formatted as ######### ?
I know Postini has some great capability - I'm just wondering how comprehensive the filtering of SSN's really works out to be.
You know what they say, if you try to idiot-proof the system, someone will always build a better idiot.
