Disclaimer in Linux Mail system
Hi Guys, For some while now (whether the issue of time or not g0_0glong well), i have been looking for an addon or way of inserting a diclaimer on every mail exiting through my mail system. There is anyone there done so before ( Platform Fedora or Centos) Baraka tele! -- Best Regards, Thuo Wilson.
Which MTA and virus scanners are you using? I know for a fact that MailScanner has an option of doing this -- Δαβίδ Mitch Hedberg<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mitch_hedberg.html> - "I drank some boiling water because I wanted to whistle."
Hi, Oops , 4got that. I hardly use mailscanner ( coz i feel its resource hungry), so Amavis, clamAV and of course spamassassin. Thuo. 2009/4/15 David Njuki <njukey@gmail.com>

Hi,
Oops , 4got that.

So that means the MTA == Postfix. A g00gle search for "postfix amavis altermime signature" may give you a headstart. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "Clothes make the man.

This depends on the MTA you are using and is such a delicate issue because you may end up breaking the email format, rendering it unreadable at the destination. How about just configuring the signature text on the MuA? That breaks nothing. Any other place and you are sure to pull out some hair. It's doable though, if you are determined. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "Clothes make the man.

On a side note, why do we still use email disclaimers even if they are in no way binding? On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 4:24 PM, Thuo Wilson <lixton@gmail.com> wrote:

Am doing it for some1. I dont mind doing it for corporates and i get those chums whether binding or not right now is not a concern. However, its a good topic to discuss sometime later :) 2009/4/15 Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com>

I would do the same, though I think they're the stupidest.

Are you sure? :) BR, S
Its actually a requirement in most countries now, in the EU (I know Germany for sure!), you have to even put your physical address for the company on the disclaimer ./Ok3ch On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 4:32 PM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:

But why is that the case? I've done some research on this matter and by and large it seems that email disclaimers are not enforceable for a number of reasons, top of which being common sense. If i'm not supposed to read a particular email how can I read the disclaimer without reading the email? Especially if the disclaimer is at the end? There's a lot of literature on the topic. http://www.news24.com/News24/Technology/News/0,6119,2-13-1443_1546258,00.htm... is a good article On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 5:39 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

The irony of e-mail disclaimers is that a company that enforces them forgets to enforce the same on _ALL_ envelops (read snail mail) and even the actual letters they send out. On e-mail, they only disclaim _after_ you have read the e-mail, and have made your mind anyway. I wish they could find a way to do it along the lines of the caution the law enforcement officers usually give to a person being placed under arrest - "you are not obliged to ..blah..blah..". Actually, who in the management ever worries about these stupid disclaimers? Is it the legal officers or the ICT Managers? In whichever case, I can only say stupid. They never think about them. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "Clothes make the man.
