How do you create a message that cannot be forwarded?
It does not look like private, personal, or confidential will work.



What is your goal? Suppose you can disable forwarding, what makes you
think users can't copy/paste email content then create a new mail
(perhaps save and re-attach files) and send to others?

Well, a DRM'd message in Exchange prevents the copy/paste too.

It doesn't prevent someone from manually retyping the message, of course.


My point exactly. Too lazy to retype? No problem... Print Screen and paste
on to new mail :-)



From the 'pulling statistics out my butt' department:

I'd wager 75% of security isn't about making something unbreakable, but
about making things *difficult*. Like the spikey plants in front of a
window. It doesn't prevent someone from getting in, it just makes it
harder. Barbed wire is *easy* to get through when you're going slow. (well
heck, it's easy when you're fast too, you just throw a really thick blanket
over it.)

A DRM'd message is sufficiently difficult to pass along to another person
verbatim for most people.
