Does anyone know how a company would go about creating company-wide signature/disclaimer at the bottom of their emails? My company uses Exchange Server 2003 on Windows SBS 2003.

Free is always good by the way =)

Thanks!
 
Not free but I use and love it for standard signatures and generic responses that my employees can use.

I know in Exchange 07 you can do a disclaimer easily with a transport rule. Not too sure about Exchange 03 I haven't used it in about two years.

There is also some VB Scripting you can do to pull the info out of AD. I used it before upgrading to Exclaimer.

I'm curious if anyone has ever taken one of those little annoying "disclaimers" to court to see if they hold up. They are becoming more and more common. Methinks Americans watch too many legal dramas on TV.

I wouldn't count on them to be legally binding personally.

Is this truly necessary? Global signatures can also be used as a peace of mind, informing recipients that our emails go through spam filters and virus scanners before it reaches them.

I was referring to the ones that look like someone attached a legal contract to the end of the emails. Like the multi-paragraph ones for instance. I wasn't referring to yours directly. I have no idea what it says.

Thanks Riddle, but unfortunately Excaimer Disclaimer only supports 2007 and 2010, not 2003. I'll look into your second option though =)

Since our Firm deals with tax laws, our disclaimer has a notice about how our legal advice doesn't mean you use the information contained in an email to avoid paying taxes or penalties pursuant to US Treasury Reguluations. :p

You want Mail Utilities, that's the older version that works on 2000/2003. Mail Disclaimers must be a new product that just does disclaimers only. Mail Utilities has some other features like anti-spam and anti-virus, though we never use those and only buy licenses for the signature stuff.
 
Yeah we just use the signature manager application.

I use a transport rule to put in our disclaimer.

IDK about it standing up in court but our legal counsel required it. So something tells me it does.

Exclaimer also has an SBS Suite, one price covers all users unlike all their other products that are licensed per user.

SBS Suite

Specifically designed for SBS (Small Business Server) environments Exclaimer SBS Suite combines all the advantages of Exclaimer Mail Utilities and Exclaimer Signature Manager in one great value package.
