Adding Calendar Dates
I have received a request to add the dates our organization is off or considered holiday's to everyone within our Exchange org. Has anyone received similar requests and if so are there any recommendations on how to perform this?

RE: Mass Mailings
Thanks for all the input, I will investigate all the proposed solutions and will hopefully find the one that is right for us.

If the member is someone who seldom interacts with your organization, this is generally not a problem. If the member also in in your GAL, you no longer have a single directory. These means your now administering contacts in multiple places. Forgive the promo but if you want to keep everything in Exchange, you may want to look at Imanami. Imanami's applications can keep your exchange objects in sync with external data sources and automatically maintain your dynamic groups. Imanami also provides the ability to designate certain groups as public and allow your users to opt-in/out to these lists via a webpage.

I've tried a few if the cheaper versions you can get off download.com and they were pretty rubbish. If you're looking for a decent opt-out one then I'm testing Lyris List Manager which seems to test ok so far.

You could get blacklisted no matter how careful you are just because there are idiots out there who will use any random blacklist that just happens to exist... and some of them are managed by.. well, as part of my kinder/gentler persona I'll stop there.

File based AV (Norton)
Hello All- We are currently running Exchange 2k/Win2k Adv Srvr in a active/active clustered scenario, my question is what are recommendations for running file base AV on the Exchange servers? I have found several articles on MSKB and Symantec's website but what/how is everybody else handling this besides directory exclusions, drive exclusions, M: Drive, etc? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated, TIA.
