Item (1) would require a custom msgina.dll. It would be a much better
question for a NT-coders group than an Exchange group.

 

Items (2) and (3) have nothing to do with Exchange. They are manual
business policies. They must be enforced through management.

hi

 

   How can we set these policies

 

 1) Cyclical use of password restricted: 

      Privileged users (administrative ids like root, administrator,
system, oracle etc) must never use the same password twice, i.e. their
password must be unique every time. Other users must not repeat any of
the previous 5 passwords. Wherever possible, the system must enforce
such restrictions otherwise it is the user's responsibility to follow
this procedure. 

 

2) Storage of Critical Passwords 

    Critical passwords (passwords for privileged Ids, generic Ids etc.)
must be stored through Critical Password Control Documents.   Such
passwords shall be recorded in specified forms and stored in two sets of
envelopes (on-site and off-site).  Records shall be maintained of
custody, changes in these passwords and movement of the envelopes.) 

 

3) Secure Conveyance of Passwords 

    Passwords should be conveyed to users in a secure manner. Passwords
must never be disclosed via telephone or through third parties or
through unprotected (clear text) electronic mails. If sent by mail or
similar physical distribution systems, the mailings must have no
markings indicating the nature of the enclosure
