question about milter software
Does anyone know milter software (or maybe anything else) to add to sendmail that can rewrite outgoing mail and add HTML footer automatically? Please do not tell me about how stupid HTML mail is at all - i know it, it is not my idea. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: question about milter software
I think you'll find Postfix to be much more modern and easy to work with for that kind of message rewriting. But what you're looking for is pretty complicated when you start having to deal with multipart messages; the messages have to be completely processed and separated into respective parts, and then once the rich part is found, you've got to parse the HTML and insert the footer into the right spot, and then recompile the message. And if the message is plain text only, you can't insert HTML and have it be displayed as such. In short, I doubt you'll have much success in doing this well. It would be better to configure this in the email client and lock that down somehow.

I think you'll find Postfix to be much more modern and easy to work with for that kind of message rewriting. you are actually wrong in that statement. In spite of hype that postscript started with, i am still using sendmail because it is actually easiest if you learn it. But what you're looking for is pretty complicated when you start having to deal with multipart messages; the messages have to be this is unfortunately true, because i could quickly do myself a filter that would trivially append footer, but it will not work. That's the reason of my question - IF such (quite complex) software is already written. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I guess it's pretty subjective, which is how I should have originally prefaced my statement. I used sendmail for a long time, and always hated working with m4 or direct sendmail configuration files. For me, Postfix is so much easier, but to each his own. For your immediate need, I'd look at http://www.ledge.co.za/software/disclaimermilter/ or MIMEDefang (http://www.mimedefang.org/) which appears to be able to add disclaimers.

I used sendmail for a long time, and always hated working with m4 or direct sendmail configuration files. well i just used README file and sometimes google. For me, Postfix is so much easier, but to each his own. it's mostly personal preferences. both are rather configurable, just different way. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
