When I send e-mails inside my company this notice doesn't appear but
when I
send it to other people outside of the company a long notice about
attachments and designated recipients. I was wondering if there is a
way for
me to get rid of it or is something that my company has set there?
Talk to your Exchange admin or IT dept. They were told by management
that this signature must be appended to all externally directed e-mails
(to protect the company's ass against stupid employees that might send
out infected or sensitive messages). They can manage problems with
internally routed e-mails. They are covering their butts when those
e-mails go outside. You don't get a choice because their mail server
will append the legal crap on every e-mail sent outside their network.
Unless you have power at your company (and assuming the "feature" can be
configured so some accounts can be excluded), you're stuck with the
appended signature.
If you are sending out personal e-mails, you shouldn't be using your
company's mail server, anyway. While they may not care about a small
volume of personal e-mails, they probably have policy regarding the
deportment and content of your e-mails originating from their domain
since it reflects on the company's image and may involve liability. You
are using *their* property so be careful how you decide to use/abuse
their property for personal purposes. You might want to connect to your
own personal e-mail provider when sending personal e-mails. ISPs may
require authentication to use their resources (since you are off-domain;
i.e., not on their network when connecting to their mail hosts) and even
require SSL and non-standard port numbers. You could also use a free
webmail service if your company blocks outbound SMTP (port 25) traffic
or your ISP blocks off-domain SMTP traffic. Webmail uses HTTP (port 80
by default) and you should be able to reach your webmail provider that
way unless the company is also blocking HTTP or blocks the domain for
your webmail provider.
