Stopping an email from being forwarded

[Guest]

I am looking for a way to stop emails from being forwarded.

Sacking someone is probably the easiest method, depends on your network
environment, Information Rights management may be one way,
http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/prodinfo/technologies/irm.mspx and
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/rightsmgmt/default.mspx
but user training may be your best bet for instance if you somehow block
Forwarding what is to prevent the user from CC'ing the information
elsewhere.

I am looking for a way to stop emails from being forwarded.

Only way is by using Rights Management, and I think that is only contained
in Windows Server 2003 and only applies to emails sent within the domain.
Otherwise you have absolutely no control over emails the second they leave
your computer.

Noel,

I like your style. the reason for asking is that I want to send an email out
to a client, but not allow them to forward the email again.

Thanks

If you are using Outlook 2003 and the client isn't you can still use
Information Rights (without the server bits) and the client could download
the Internet explorer add in.

Noel,

is there any other way without downloading anything? Or is it a matter of
Microsoft trying to tie people in to their products?

Hi Jon,
I dont think so and at the end of the day if the client is desperate enough
they will find a way (take a picture of the screen). The download is free
but a hassle at the end of the day.

Noel,

Thanks for that. I was just hoping there was a way without having to do the
download and install, as not all of our clients have the admin rights to
install the software to make it readable.

Gordon,

There is a way - GigaTrust. We have products that can extend RMS outside of
an enterprise. Check out the site: www.gigatrust.com.

I would be glad to discuss.
