Legal disclaimers in Exchange 2010

 

To manage disclaimers in Exchange Server 2010, means that you will need to delve into the art of transport rules. To create a transport rule to apply a disclaimer to all outbound email messages, you can either use the new Transport Rule Wizard in the Exchange Management Console (EMC). Or, you can use the New-TransportRule cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). My preference and this should be your preference, is to use the cmdlet. For example:

New-TransportRule -Name OutboundDisclaimer -Enabled $true -SentToScope 'NotInOrganization' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation 'Append' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerText "<h3>Warning</h3><p>This message is confidential. It may also be privileged or otherwise protected by work product immunity or other legal rules. If you have received it by mistake, please let us know by e-mail reply and delete it from your system; you may not copy this message or disclose its contents to anyone. Please send us by fax any message containing deadlines as incoming e-mails are not screened for response deadlines. The integrity and security of this message cannot be guaranteed on the Internet.</p>" -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerFallbackAction Wrap

This example is pretty simple. The only thing to really note is the use of the ApplyHtmlDisclaimerFallbackAction parameter which is being set to Wrap (if the disclaimer can't be inserted into the original message, Exchange encloses, or wraps, the original message in a new message envelope. Then the disclaimer is inserted into the new message) which is the default behavior.

However, what if you wanted to set a disclaimer for all internal email? For example, your legal department wanted some sort of warning message that stated internal email messages cannot be forwarded outside of the organization. Well luckily that is also a pretty simple task as well using the New-Transport cmdlet:

New-TransportRule -Name InternalDisclaimer -Enabled $true -SentToScope 'InOrganization' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation 'Append' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerText "<h3>Warning</h3><p>Please do not forward internal email messages outside of the company. Bad things may happen to you!</p>" -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerFallbackAction Wrap

You will notice the SentToScope parameter is set to InOrganization which denotes that the transport rule only applies to messages sent to recipients that are considered inside the organization.

Lastly, what if your legal department is being a real pain and you need to apply a special type of message header (disclaimer) notifying recipients certain information about the email’s sender. For example, what if all internal email messages from trade restricted senders needs to have a TR label applied to them. Luckily, this is pretty simple and might look like the following command:

$Signature = '<div style="backgroun-color:#D5EAff; border:1px dotted #003333; padding:.8em;"> `
<span style="font-size:12pt; color:#ff0000;">TR WARNING</span></br> `
<p style="font-size:8pt; line-height:10pt">This message was sent from a trade restricted (TR) individual!</p> `
</div>
New-TransportRule -Name TRDisclaimer -Enabled $true -SentToScope 'InOrganization' -FromMemberOf "Trade Restricted" -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation 'Prepend' ApplyHtmlDisclaimerText $Signature -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerFallbackAction Wrap

With this command, you will notice that it only applies to senders that are members of the Trade Restricted group. In addition, the ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation is being set to Prepend which means that the “disclaimer” will be appended as a header vs. a footer in the message.

How to Add Automatic Email Signatures and Disclaimers with Exchange 2010

 

Exchange Server 2010 has similar capabilities to Exchange Server 2007 when it comes to adding disclaimers to emails sent by end users.

However two improvements have been made in Exchange Server 2010 – the ability to use HTML to format the text, and the ability to insert Active Directory attributes into the text.

These new capabilities make it very easy to add a standardized email signature and disclaimer to all emails sent in the organization.

For this to work the desired Active Directory attributes need to be populated on the user account objects. Attributes that would commonly be used in email signatures include the person’s name, job title, phone number, and street address.

You can view and edit these attributes in the properties of the mailbox or user account.

userattributes01

userattributes02

userattributes03

When the user accounts are populated with the necessary attributes you can proceed with the creation of the Transport Rule that will add the signature and disclaimer.Open the Exchange Management Console and navigate to Organization Configuration/Hub Transport. Right-click and start a New Transport Rule.

transportrule01

Give the rule a meaningful name and description and click Next.

transportrule02

Choose the condition “From users that are inside or outside the organization” and make sure it is set to “Inside the organization“.

transportrule03

Choose the action “Append disclaimer text and fallback to action if unable to apply“.

transportrule04

Now click on the blue highlighted “disclaimer text” to configure the signature and disclaimer. You can use simple HTML tags to format the text, and wrap the Active Directory attribute name in %% tags to insert the attributes automatically.

transportrule05

For example, this is the text that I have used for this demonstration.

Complete the New Transport Rule wizard to finish creating the rule.

transportrule06

You can now test the new rule by sending an email to anyone inside or outside of the organization and seeing the signature and disclaimer text automatically inserted by the Exchange server.

email

Note…to prevent the signature to appear in reply or forwards do the following…

Under the Exceptions section when setting up the rule or editing it, check the “except when the Subject field contains specific words” checkbox and then add the entries “RE” and “FW” to the list.
