GnuPG might be what you are looking for. Mail.app comes with S/MIME
support for encrypting and/or signing messages.


By signature, I just mean the sort of signature you'd put in Mail.app, for example. Your name, maybe your title, that kind of stuff. For example, any e-mail to this list might have my version as a signature, so I never forget to add it, and it keeps up-to-date w/ the actual version because the server is the one generating it. Also, I could have certain recipients get certain signatures, all automated without me remembering to do it. I realize most MUAs have ways to do it, and Mail.app has a decent signature system. I was just curious if TMDA had anyway to do it on the server side.

I think I follow what you're trying to do, though I'm not really familiar with anything that would accomplish this. Honestly, it doesn't sound like something the MTA "should" be doing. It would have to be smart enough to do equivalent updates to each part of a multipart/alternative message.... And what if the MUA had already signed the message (PGP, etc.)? Change the message after the signature, and the signing breaks -- as it should! If all you're doing is sending unsigned plaintext, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to arrange. Otherwise, though.... :-/

So far as future implementation goes, wasn't there discussion of a filter line which would run a message through an external program (e.g. SpamAssassin runs only if sender isn't whitelisted) and use its possibly-modified output copy of the message thenceforth? If that functionality were added to the outgoing filter as well, a script could be written to do something like what you're wanting.
