It's possible that people will have pictures or logos in their signature files. You will have to take into account the space taken up by these pictures.

If you talking about a basic text only signature, that would be about 500-750 bytes, less than 1K. HTML signatures could be much larger depending on the code in them, the graphics etc etc. What you could to do to estimate the space taken up by the sigs is to assume signatures are 1K, work out how many emails are in your IS (don't know the details on this one, someone else might have an idea), guess how many are likely to have signatures (i.e. all of them, 50% of them, 75% of them) and then do the maths. It would be very difficult to get an exact figure because how would a bit of software or code differentiate between someone's signature and a normal sign off? Hope my thoughts/ramblings help :-) -----Original Message----- From: Musab Qureshi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 November 2001 12:57 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Calculate "cost" of email signature Hi, Does anyone know how to see how much space is taken up by an email signature. Our email database is c.40Gb & one wonders how much of that is signatures. How can one work this out? Pls. Cc replies to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, m.q.
