Add email disclaimer to all outgoing email

Is there a way to add an email disclaimer to every outgoing email on the server level, not the mail.app signatures?

If you search the forum, you'll likely find my several rants on this subject.
Please do, as I'm not going to repeat the entire thing.
Basically, if you can gurantee that all messages are straight text, you can add a disclaimer, but if not, then it's just not possible.
Messages are far more complex than in years past. Adding a standard footer is something far better done by the mail client, as the client assembles the message. The server's job is to transfer the assembled message. Adding a part to the message would be very cpu intensive, and would require you to disassemble all the parts, create the new part, and reassemble it all.
Of course, this doesn't even begin to address question of, "are disclaimers of any use", either. That answer is typically, "no".

Adding Corporate E-Mail Disclaimer to all outgoing email

I need to configure our mail server to add an E-Mail disclaimer to all outgoing email. Can someone point me to the relevant documenation or assist me with this request.
We are running Sun Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.11.
I should state that I am a novice with Messaging server.
Thanks

Hi,
You can start here:
http://blogs.sun.com/factotum/entry/messaging_server_and_email_disclaimers
Also note the version of messaging server you are running is extremely old, you should be looking/planning to upgrade in the near future. Version 6.3 adds milter capabilities, which if you were running this version the following document would be relevant to your request:
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Add_Footer_to_All_Outgoing_Mail
I should also add that Messing Server is not for the faint-of-heart (it's complex) so I recommend you try and get some training on the basics at least.
Regards,
Shane.

Adding disclaimer to all outgoing mail

I would like to start adding a "disclaimer" or signature to the bottom of all outgoing mails
eg
Please note that the contents of this e-mail, including any
attachments etc etc etc
Is there a way of configuring postfix to do this for me without corrupting the outgoing mail.

There is no easy and, most importantly, reliable way of doing this at the postfix level. Full stop!
If you need this to be done, you have to do it at the client level (mail.app, squirrelmail, outlook, etc.).
For the technically inclined: An e-mail written by a user on the mail client can be plain text, images only, html, contain attachments etc. Thus it is encoded (mime) and passed on to the MTA (postfix). To be able to add a footer at this stage, the MTA would have to decode the mail message, add a footer and re-encode the message. Besides the technical implications it will also be a performance hit on your mail server. Furthermore, chances are your mail will get messed up in the process.
Look at the source of an e-mail with let's say attachments in Mail.app (View-Message-Raw Source) and you will notice that except for the headers, what follows is mainly gibberish (that's the mime encoded bit).
For the not so technically minded and a good laugh, see here:

Add a disclaimer / signature on outgoing mail

Hi, I try to find a solution to add automatically a disclaimer above every outgoing mail, but google seems no to be my best friend this time
thanks a lot

Hi
This is the Server Forum and it is not clear if your question regards Apple's Mail Server. If you are referring to Apple's Mail Client application, Apple Mail then its fairly straightforward. Launch Apple Mail > Mail Menu > Preferences > Signatures. Define what you want and play with any further options that seem suitable for you. If your Mail application is Entourage then launch Entourage > Tools > Signatures. Create a new one or edit the one already there. Save the changes. Now select Tools > Accounts > Mail Account > Options. Select the newly created signature.
If your post is not server related you should really post here:

Dislaimer for all outgoing mails, excepting some domains?

I'm still trying to add a Disclaimer to all outgoing mails. Actually, I need some help to add such a Disclaimer to nearly all outgoing mails, excepting some specific domains and for the right syntax:
I know that I can add a message filter with the action 'add-footer' through CLI like this:
if (recv listener == "OutboundMail" AND (not only-body-contains ('some unique text from my company disclaimer'),1)
{add-footer('name of previously in GUI added dislcaimer-text');}
else
{ deliver();}
My questions:
a) How can I prevent such a Disclaimer for every recipient in the domain "@company-without-disclaimer.com"?
b) How should I write that for multiple recipient-domains without disclaimer?
c) Is it important to write the listener-name and the disclaimer-name in the above code with ' (single quote) or " (double quotes)?
d) Are the brace brackets {} set correct?
e) Should I enter the entire disclaimer-text for the body-scan? I'm not sure if our actually one is 'unique' - maybe other companies has the same or a very similar one. Should I add multiple parts to looking for? How do you do that?
Thank you for every help in advance!

I can't figure out how to add the NOT-command.
It works for me as written in my previous example.
And could you please tell me something to my other questions c), d) and e)?
"C" and "d" are very basic questions documented in the "Message Filters" section of the Advanced User Guide. Single or double quotes are both fine. The curly braces are probably OK as you've written them, but putting whitespace around them might be necessary (the docs don't say).
As for the disclaimer text, that's hard to get perfect. It depends on your threat model. If you just want to be reasonably well assured that it gets put in, then pick out some bit of the disclaimer that is unlikely to appear elsewhere and check for that. But if you want to make sure that your own people can't spoof the process by embedding that bit in a message in order to avoid getting the disclaimer (not a likely threat in my opinion), then you'd need to check for the whole thing. Depending on how long it is, it might be safer to check for it piecemeal rather than all at once. I really can't say since I've never tried this. Or you could just add the footer unconditionally. At worst, you'd only end up with multiple instances of the footer in some messages, and it would only be in those messages which pass through your ESA more than once.

How can I get Verizon to block all outgoing messages on my email?

My email was apparently hacked, it is the main account that I have used for the past seven years and all of my bill notifications and important things come to this address. I have changed the password repeatedly, run several scans on my main computer, laptop, kindle fire, and cell phone (every device I access the email on) using Norton and Norton Power Eraser on the computers. Nothing showing up.
I chatted with support just now asking them to block all outgoing email and they said it isn't possible and I find that impossible to believe. I am seeing all kinds of messages here saying that people are being blocked but I can't add an email address to that list? I need to keep it active for inbound email for a month or so just to make sure that I haven't missed any bill notices or other important stuff. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Pretty hard to do without shutting down the account.
Assuming you have properlly changed your password, and checked your PC and other devices for viruses/trojatns/etc. Then the person using your email is probably NOT even using Verizon. \
Unfortunately the basic SMTP protocol is totally different then most people think. Who you say you are is not a protected value and you can say you are anyone, yes verizon's servers when initially accepting input do check, but that is about it. And the displayed sender and addresses in the smtp protocol do not have to match any text in the mail. that you see.

HT2500 How do I add a disclaimer footer to my email signature?

How do I add a disclaimer footer to my email signature?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Mail, Preferences, and click the 'Signatures' tab.
First, click the + (plus) sign in the middle column to define the signature with desired 'Disclaimer'
It will automatically be named but you can rename it.
Then you associate the signature you just created with an email account in the left column, by clicking on the signature title in the middle column and dragging the signature onto the email account listing in the left column.

HT1277 I would like to remove my photo from all outgoing email on my IMac computer. Can anyone tell me a way to do this? Thank you.

I would like to remove my photo from all outgoing emails on my IMac. Could someone help? Thanks.

I am guessing that you are referring to the image that Mail puts next to the headers - this is what is in your Address Book, and is just there for convenience. Your photo is not sent with any message unless you attach it via a file or otherwise include it in the message contents.

All Outgoing Emails Marked as SPAM

As of today, the primary PC we have used for years for our main .net account has all outgoing email marked as spam and blocked. Even single addressee, no content emails are bounced back as SPAM. I can still receive on the primary PC, and still send from other devices with the same account. I have deleted and re-added the account on the PC to make sure the server and port settings are current to no avail. Any thoughts on what might have happened?

As stated in the Spam FAQ page, you will not get any response when sending the message to [email protected] for review. You attach the message that you are unable to send, and they review it. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the filter will either be updated to allow the content that was previously blocked, or it will be determined to be a legitimate block and no changes will be made.
Some troubleshooting steps you can try:
If you have a signature, try removing one line at a time from it and attempting to send the message again. Some signatures look like "ads" to the filters, apparently.
If you are using a pop3 client (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.) try sending your message from the verizon.net website. If this resolves the issue, then it is something that your client is adding to the message that is causing it to be blocked.
If the Subject line of your message has a whole bunch of "Fwd: Fwd: Re: Fwd:" try removing some of them.
Remove any links/URLs from the email one at a time to isolate if one of them is causing the block.
Some people have suggested sending the message to [email protected] for investigation. This may work for you as well.

What customization is required to webmail in NMS4.15 to allow text such as a disclaimer to be included in all outgoing http mail?

My understanding is that comp_fs.html needs to be modified but I am unsure of which function?
The text should not be visible to the user when composing the email, only the recipient(s) should see this.

I haven't had the occasion to dissect the webmail internals enough to know where you'd add such functionality specific to HTTP, but if adding it to all outgoing messages is satisfactory, then you can write a plugin.
In fact, here are two links. One describes the method of creating a plugin and uses an example that includes a number of other features. The second link contains the actual code for the entire plugin. You can just remove the additional functionality that you don't want to employ before compiling.

How to add email accounts on Ipad 2

I can't add email accounts on my Ipad 2. When I select Settings, Email-Contacts-calendar the Ipad returns to the begin screen. I don not get any possibility to select an email provider or add an account. Just the begin screen.
Thanks, Ferdy

iphone does support hotmail, but Windows Mail (Windows Vista) does not support Hotmail. you also need to have a subscription to hotmail (aka windows live)....they no longer allow IMAP/POP access w/ free accounts. i purchased the Hotmail Plus subscription for 19.95 yearly ($1.66/month) - this is the cheapest one.
here are the Hotmail settings for iphone:
Select OTHER for mail account:
name: xxxx
address: full e-mail address
description:xxxx
save
choose POP
incoming mail server:
host name: pop3.live.com
user name: full e-mail address
pw: xxxx
outgoing mail server:
host name: smtp.live.com
user name: xxxx
pw: xxxx
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
