In our organisation all inbound and outbound SMTP traffic is routed through a NT server running MIMESweeper. This has the ability to add footers to outbound email. (As you'll see below when this gets to you...) It also runs some basic content filtering checks, and checks all mail that passes through it with Sophos Anti-virus. I'm told that it works reliably and rarely has any problems. I used to have a patch to qmail that inserted footers onto the end of every mail. However, it didn't work with mail containing MIME attachments. As I didn't think my limited C hacking skills would get this working reliably, we stuck with the MIMESweeper solution. I am also interested in not having the footer for emails sent to our own company can anyone please point me in the right way. The MUAs we use are configured to use our main mail server for SMTP and POP. qmail then handles any SMTP routing. Internal mail is handled locally by the mail server, with outbound mail routed through the NT server. This lets us get away with not having the disclaimer stamped on internal mail. (Of course, it also means that internal mail is not virus checked. We're looking into using Amavis to do this.)

Re: Email Footer [slightly OT]
Excellent - my first flame from Mr. Socha. I suddenly feel privileged. Apologies to everyone else for the spam. This is the first and last time I will reply to anything like this.

I'm sorry I have to ask but what does braindamaged translate to in your language? In my language, "acutally" is spelled "actually", and "braindamaged" is actually "brain damaged". Your comments speak for themselves. I feel sad that I have to correct you on simple spelling issues. This message is confidential. It may also be legally privileged.

More like "intellectually differently abled". If I could remove the footer, I would. However this is out of my control and is a requirement of our internal audit department. Not a lot I can do about it. Sorry. "Reliable" and "rarely" don't mix well in a binary world. I know. Why do you think I run Unix boxes instead of NT? As I said before, the box is out of my control. (Maybe the expression "I'm told that..." was a little too vague for you...) Sure, I could set up my own little mail server to bypass the NT box, but I like having a job to get up for in the morning. Welcome to Unix, Andrew - our tools either work, or they don't. Thanks. About 15 years too late for the welcome, but thanks anyway. I've been doing this for a while Exchange *does* *not* *work* and neither does NT. Tell me something I don't know, then you might be able to contribute something useful instead of just fanning the flames. Your solution is not a solution. It is a system that works for us, and that is all that I was trying to say. It's a viable way of creating a security hole the size of Redmond. If I had a choice, all the NT boxes would be dropped off the edge of the nearest cliff. Go away. No. Unix Systems Administrator You wish, mouse pusher. Minix, Xenix, Linux, Risc/OS, SCO UnixWare, ICL DRS/NX, Solaris 2.x/7/8, AIX. All versions of Unix I've administered over the last 15 years. Replies such as the one Robin has posted do nothing to help the image of qmail or open source products in general. Let's try and keep it to the point and keep the flames down. Maybe some people who are usually the first to cry "netiquette" should go and look up the term themselves. Again, sorry to all for feeding to the flame.

Recent flamage notwithstanding, I'd suggest running two instances of
qmail. The second one will be used for outgoing mail only. The
first, and primary, qmail will have a catch-all virtualdomain for all
the stuff that isn't for local recipients:
In /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
:alias-outgoing
In /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-outgoing-default:
|cat - /legalese-notice | /var/qmail-outgoing/bin/qmail-inject -f"${SENDER}"
|"${EXT2}@${HOST}"
(all that on one line, in case the line gets broken between you and
me). Well, this is the main principle anyway. Tweak to taste.
