I found how to get rid of this message in Outlook 2007, I am not sure if
the steps will be the same in Outlook 2003.
Go to:
Tools/Trust Center/Add-ins button
At the bottom there is a "Manage Drop-Down" "COM Add-ins" may be selected
by default.
Change this drop-down to "Exchange Client Extensions" and click "Go"
You will see an Add-In Manager dialog box with an option for
"FaxExtension"
I uncheced this box and clicked "ok".
Closed Outlook and relaunched. Message has not returned.
Hope this helps.
