Default Setup outlook swear filter

Hi,

I work for a 20 user co with SBS2003 and exchange and im trying to set up a
rule that checks the users outgoing email for swear words, eg sh*t etc etc
and if it contains them replies with a message like please do not use company
email to swear. but i have tried to setup a sever rule and i doesnt work? i
know of something regarding it only replying once, but as you can tell this
would need to happen evey time someone swears

thanks

Default Setup outlook swear filter

The best approach to handle this would be macros or a COM Add-In that would
trap the "window" of all new e-mail messages, use the InStr function on the
MailItem.Body property, and cancel MailItem_Send if any objectionable words
are found.

See my article here on how to wire up your code into new e-mails:
