Protecting e-mails

[Gerald Wooten]

I work for a church that often deals with sensitive/personal issues that
could have a great deal of liability involved if such messages are not
handled properly. I thought this used to fall under the category of DRM, but
this seems to have been comendeered to pertain to mostly music. I have never
dealt with these issues before, so I am unaware of how to set this up.
First, is DRM the appropriate terminology? More importantly, how do they
begin makinging e-mail flagged as non-printable, non-forwardable, etc.,?
They are running Windows SBS 2003 with all service packs applied, Exchange
2003 Server, and run Outlook 2003 on our workstations. Does the process
begin on the server, or does it begin at each worstation? Is/are there (a)
white paper(s) that discuss how to set this up? Anyone want to express their
opinion or describe their experience in working with this?

Typically, the term "DRM" is indeed used to describe the anti-copying
controls placed on music and video files. For your needs, RMS (Windows
Rights Management Services) could work very well. Check out
