When do policies go into effect?

I'm looking into using Domino7 to create a company wide policy to manage 
desktop, security and mail policy settings.

My question is this: After I assign the company wide policy to all my 
users, when does it go into effect? *IMMED? At next user authentication? 
Or after adminp runs? Or.....when?

The reason I ask is that I tested a mail policy settings document to 
employ an email disclaimer and  assigned it to a test user. The 
documentation I followed said that I had to issue a 'tell adminp process 
mailpolicy' command which I did, and the disclaimer was applied (to a 
R5.11 client no less!). I then went ahead and assigned the same policy to 
all my users using the group assign policy tool. I was surprised that it 
went into effect without having to re-issue the 'tell adminp process 
mailpolicy'.

So I'm wondering, if for newly registered users, will the mail policy go 
into effect automatically? Or will I still need to issue 'tell adminp 
process mailpolicy'?

And consequently, when will my company wide policy (which will include 
desktop settings, security settings and this mail policy settings document 
to provide the disclaimer,) take effect?
