There are people helping you, however, you might get better traction if you didn't come across as wanting to be spoon fed. Here are a few ideas that you could use, which wouldn't require much Perl Scripting knowledge, and I figured out how to add a disclaimer by reading a post someone posted in one of the archives, so do more searching. For distinguishing between internal and external e-mails for a disclaimer when you have remote users you could do what I do. I have Mimedefang as a front-end for my Exchange Servers. All internal e-mail is originated from those machines it then forwards all outbound e-mail to the Mimedefang server, which looks at the IP address, and does all the processing from there. For the disclaimers I have it check to see if it's coming from an IP address of one of the Exchange Servers and if it is, it then adds on the disclaimer, if it doesn't, then it processes the messages differently. I suppose one could run two instances of sendmail and have one sendmail listening on one IP address and have another sendmail listening on another that would probably work as well. -- Although that could create some more overhead. As for the "stupid disclaimers" there are some of us who are required to put something in place by the company we work for, usually the company's legal department says to put it on there. I'm sure management is going to listen to an IT guy that shows them a webpage of how stupid they are over their legal department. You will never see disclaimers go away until they are tested in court. It's sort of like the stupid EULA that says something along the lines of, "If you don't agree with this take it back to the store for a full refund" -- Oh yeah, I can't because store policy is that if I open up the software I can't take it back for a refund, so now what do I do? Or even stupider yet, is that, when I click "I agree" I'm entering into some type of legal binding contract which is some how the same as if though I signed a document, even though this EULA says that I will give my first born to Bill Gates. What if someone under 18 clicked the "I agree" does the EULA then not apply? The list goes on and on of stupid stuff that we do on computers that we don't do on other things and until you see it tested in court you'll probably get a lot more things like this. If you want to get even more upset, try reading some of the EULA's that have been coming out, that'll make your head spin. Thanks, Brett I'll add my disclaimer, before I forget: Any views or opinions expressed in this e-mail do not necessarily represent those of my employer. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
