You could create separate mailboxes for business and personal mail. Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BRANDON Michael Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 4:00 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Custom Message Types and Exchange 2003 Hi Ed, Organisational policy is such that limited personal use of the mail system is permitted (and we're not in a position to change this), so we would like to distinguish between "business" and "non-business" mail, or perhaps the two classifications might be better termed "business-and-important" and "not-business-or-not-important". Management wants us to be able to apply space and/or time limits to the latter category, and possibly not back up the latter category to tape (exactly how we treat the two different message classes is still up for discussion). For internally-generated mail we can force clients to create messages using an appropriate Outlook form (and in doing so categorise the message into one or the other of the classes), but we don't really know into which category an incoming Internet mail message falls, so we'd like to treat it as "business" until the client makes a conscious decision that it isn't. At this stage I'm just investigating the technical feasibility of implementing such a scheme; how well it works in practice has yet to be seen. Cheerio, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [MVP] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 18 August 2004 11:53 am Subject: RE: Custom Message Types and Exchange 2003 If you characterize all incoming Internet mail as "business", what would be "non-business"? How about eliminating "non-business" mail from your system entirely by notifying employees that company policy is that company e-mail systems are for business purposes only and violations will result in termination?

We have a requirement to categorise our e-mail into "business" and "non-business" email, which we are considering doing using custom message types with associated custom forms. We would like to treat all incoming Internet mail as "business" by stamping the message with the custom "business" message type. How feasible is this? Could you point me at some appropriate resources to get me started? I presume this will require programming on the Exchange server, and while I have programming skills, I've not written Exchange-specific code.
