Disclaimer appends numerous times - Exchange 2010
This is a test setup between exchange 2007sp2 and exchange 2010 SP2. one mailbox on each server. I successfully configured a small HTML disclaimer and it works fine. The issue I am having is when these 2 users respond to each other multiple times I notice that the disclaimer is appended everyting and starts accumalating at the bottom numerous times ...lots of time. I just want the disclaimer to appear one time only, first time ................. even if they reply gazillion times to each other. In other words if the disclaimer is found in the message do not add again. Advise me please , thanks.

Hi, Did you add the disclaimer by using transport rules? You could try to add an exception to this rule: When the subject field contains Re: (and Fw: if needed) Kind regards, Bart TimmermansKPN Consulting - Technical Consultant www.bart-timmermans.nl Mark as Answer, if it is answer for your Question.

The other way to do this is to seek out some text in the disclaimer message that is not likely to appear in the body of anybodys message and then add it in as an exception. So as the HT rule processes the message to add the disclaimer it sees that the text string already exists and therefore skips adding the disclaimer again. Doing the RE and FWD exception could be a problem because people reply to messages and tend to add additional recipients. "WildPacket" wrote in message news:22f15054-29bd-430e-b0ae-3623b513dc88...

You may also run into issues with users that have different language settings (French Outlook will add TR: instead of RE:, German AW: etc) After reviewing the options we decided to not use Exchange for deploying Disclaimers, too many hacks needed to make it work (text always appears at the bottom of message, no setting to only apply once etc.) Thanks, Karl
