Server based outbound email signatures

Is there anyway to have the server attach an email signature to an outbound message? I have a nice new shiny HTML signature design by our graphic department that they want attached to everyones email. I can set up the signature in everyones' email client. Because of iPhones, androids, Blackberrys, webmail and the rest, there are a lot of clients to configure. In an ideal world, it would be nice to have the server attach it before the message goes out.
I have tried alterMIME. However I can not get it to install (it hit an unknown command at line 500). Since I was trying to install it on a production server, I stopped.
There may not a way to do this. But I thought I might ask.
Thanks,
Henry

It is possible to do, but hardly trivial. There's certainly nothing in the GUI to do this, so you'll need to get under the hood and drive Postfix directly.
The solution lies in adding a mail filter to Postfix so that it runs alll the mail through a script that adds the signature. This would be trivial if you could guarantee all emails were plain text, but you can't - emails have styled text, images, attachments, and more. Some emails are sent in multiple content-types, such as a plaintext and rich text variants, and just slapping some text on the end will render such emails invalid. Therefore you need a system that is able to decode the message, separate attachments from content, and attach the signature in the right place(s).
The classic solution for this is a script called AlterMIME and their site has various hints on how to install and configure it.

Server based email signature

Hi
I am really struggling here. I am using os x 10.8 server. I have set up this server as a mail server. I am now trying to set up a company wide email signature that will go out on iphones, ipads, imacs, laptops etc. Is this possible? If not is it possible to have a group signature for the desktop computers?
erver hopeful

Creating server based folder on mac/me IMAP- Problem!!!

I'm having a problem creating an IMAP server based folder to sync with my iphone.
I can create one for my personal domain email account, which, when sync via itunes appears in my mail app on the iphone.
But when I try to create one for my .mac/.me account, it does not appear in my Mail app on my computer, let alone on my iphone.
I click the '+' at the bottom of the left hand pane, click 'new mailbox' and then using location 'mac', with the nice picture of the cloud, enter the name I'd like it to have.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or do I have a bug?
Thanks

HTML, images, links in email signatures

I am trying to add hyperlinks to website addresses inside my email signature.
I am also trying to add a Skype status button to my email signature. You can see the code it generates from this page:
http://www.skype.com/share/buttons/wizard.html
I have read older guides on how to create webarchives via BBEdit and Safari. I tried that but did not have success with the image showing up and the hyperlinks I added in did not work.
Is there an updated tutorial for editing signatures in html for Leopard?
I am using Mail 3.0

This is how I've found a way of doing:
Go to home/library/mail/signatures select all the files in there
Go to preferences in Mail and create a new signature
In the home/library/mail/signatures you will see a new file *.webarchive
Open your html signature with Safari
Go to File/Save as ... Save as over the new *.webarchive choosing webarchive for the format
Restart Apple mail if you need to
(for the images you will need to have them posted on a server)

Import Mail and Contacts, from Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email to New iPad Air

Just got a New iPad Air, and I want to import all of my email & contacts (email addresses) from a Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email program.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you in advance!

Do you have all messages left on the server? Then you can simply set-up your Gmail account as IMAP account.

Pdf's freeze using Reader in server based Mac 10.6 or 10.5

I support several hundred iMac's for a school district. We have a site license for Adobe CS4 (and CS3). The user's accounts are server based. The programs are installed on the local computer. If I create a local account and log into that local account all functions normally. However, if I or anyone else for that matter logs in using the server based account, pdf's freeze. Also, when logged into the server, if you try to install a new version of Reader it errors looking for a disk. What the program is really looking for is the users' local account which of course doesn't exist locally because I am logged into the server. I've had Apple out to look at the server and local iMacs. They say all is functioning normally and this is a known Adobe problem. Apparently the program can't find the users account on the server. I have used a workaround with Preview and Word but that's not a solution. Any ideas?

Thanks for the thought, Barbara B. Not sure if this counts, but emailed the file to myself [different email account, same computer] but it would not play as an email attachment. Any suggestions for a web upload where I can test your suggestion? Seems like there should be a different save option other than IMAGES ONLY but that is the only option I'm given.

Sending outbound email with paragraphs 255 characters

G'day all,
My problem at the moment is getting an outbound email with a body that includes continuous paragraphs greater than 255 characters. I want to be able to send an email where there is no emposed limit on a continuous paragraph.
Please note I am not interested in attachements with lengths greater than 255, it's the email body that concerns me. Simple email text ******
I've been working with inbound and outbound mails and making heavy use of Thomas Jung's blogs on the same -- Thanks so much to Thomas for these really helpful blogs, and all his posts!! --
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/08/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-610-and-higher--bcs-interface
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
On this basis I'm creating a document using class CL_DOCUMENT_BCS and passing it a table based on SOLI_TAB in which includes the email body with CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF where required between paragraphs. I've been trying to use type 'RAW' as I want to keep the mails as low-tech as possible (no idea what email clients the recipients will be running).
I then pass the document to an instance of CL_SEND_REQUEST_BCS (via SETU_DOCUMENT) to send.
When the email is sent it includes an unwanted line break every 255 characters so it's not possible to have a continuous paragraph longer than 255 (the length of SOLI-LINE).
I did find a post from Thomas Jung stating that SOLI didn't impose a line break for each line (I can't find it again now due to SDN's poor search performance) but I believe this may have only been for attachments and not the mail body.
If HTM type is the only solution, I'm interested to hear about it, but I'd also like advice on how to best generate the correct HTML tags. I can include <BR> instead of CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF but I'm not sure if this will be acceptable to all mail clients.
Many thanks (and points) for any help!

Ical Server Snow Leopard email notification: just a clarification question.

Hi,
I succesfully installed my mac mini snow leo server.
Our scenario: icalserver calendar is used by 4 clients in our network.
ical server is running fine, but there is one thing I
do not understand: the workflow of email notification.
On the server I enabled email notification and set up an email adress [email protected] in Server Admin / Emailnotification.
Then I created a test event in ical. I did not use the local calendar,
I used the caldav calendar.
Then I was wondering: why did mail start on mini server to send the invitation ?
Email data is still stored in Server Admin / Email notification, so I assume email is sent independently in the backgound from any mail programm !??!
It would be nice if anybody could give me any advice.
Thanks

Invitations are sent to external email recipients directly by the server posting them to a known mail queue, (probably in your case on the same mini). There is a calendar server manual online which explains, and calendarserver.org where the project is based. I was only able to make it work using the internal account names, not a friendly one I set up for the purpose.

Configuring ISE to proxy Authentications based on email address

Hi
I'm looking for a little help configuring ISE to proxy requests to external radius servers based on email address and password. I want to configure eduroam on our WLAN. Eduroam allows students connect to the WIFI of other Campuses using their local credentials
Workflow:
User associates to SSID (eduroamTest)
Prompted for username & password (802.1x)
User puts in username and password in the form [email protected] (UPN)
If the user is part of our local institution they are authenticated using our local radius server (ISE)
If the user is a member of a partner institution the request is proxied to an external radius server (National Gateways).
The National Gateways passes the request to the relevant institution based on the UPN (eg @ucd.ie will be passed to ucd radius servers)
The institution authenticates the user and passes the request back to the National Gateways
The National Gateways passes this request back to our ISE server and the external user is authenticated
The user can browse the web
What I have done:
Setup the National Gateways as external proxy servers
Created firewall rules to allow the traffic
Configured the proxy sequence with these servers
Created a policy to proxy requests to the proxy sequence
What I need to figure out:
How to get ISE to authenticate/proxy requests, for the SSID eduroamTest, based on UPN eg (if username = *@rcsi.ie then use local ISE otherwise use proxy service)
Any help with this configuration would be greatly appreciated as I am new to ISE.
If you need any more info please let know.
Kind regards
John

Sounds like you did most of the work already. To get ISE to direct certain requests based on attributes in the request to another radius server, all you need to do, is create a new authentication rule, where you check for the following attributes ;
radius/called-station-id contains "eduroam"
and
radius/username ends with "rcsi.ie"
Then you can select the radius server sequence you created instead of the normal "Allowed protocols" list.
If you want to be in control of the authorization, there is a flag you must set in the radius server sequence in ISE, this will let you control what rights the client is given locally, while still authenticating the user remotely.

Problems with Email Signature in Outlook

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to create an email signature for my office that can be viewed correctly in any browser/ email client/ platform. I'm currently designing/ coding on a Mac.
I created the design for it in Photoshop and then sliced it appropriately.
Saved it on a sever (PhotoBucket) so all the images are hosted.
Next I created a table in Dreamweaver and added each sliced image from the server into each appropriate table cell until it was formatted correctly.
Then I added in links to a majority of the images:
i.e. image links to company website, Facebook and twitter accounts; mailto links for the email address; and a "a href="tel:..." for the company phone numbers
Then I saved and opened it in Safari, copied it, and pasted into signatures.
Everything works great/ looks great as far as formatting and coding - essentially everything 'works' when I open it in Safari or Chrome etc. The problems start when I copy it into Outlook and send it out.
Problems I'm having:
1. When i send a blank email the signature looks good from my Mac Outlook. On some PC's Outlook the table is splitting up into individual cells and stacking on top of each other. On other PC's it looks fine.
2. The signature in the body of the email does not move along with newly typed text. Instead it overlaps and covers any text that is under it.
3. When I try testing by sending the signature to a Gmail account, the images come as individual attachments or individual links- a huge annoying mess.
Different things I have tried:
1. Using HotSpots instead of image links: although it shows up on Safari, the links to not work in Outlook.
2. Not hosting images, but instead linking directly from my Mac.
Is there anything I'm missing? Or is what I'm trying to do (Create an email signature that is functional and clickable) simply not possible?
I'd appreciate any advice!
Thank you

I think i'll stop you there. Email signatures do not require images and you should maybe think about having everything as text. You will no doubt be emailing people outside your company and lots of people don't have images turned on by default (hotmail, yahoo, outlook) so if you have any contact information in there, or your name, they won't see it!
At the most I would have a small image of the company logo next to your information in text, and all the social media links as text as well.

Email signatures, to (include) images or not, that is the question!

We just had this discussion internally and decided against it. When they work, they look good, but when they don't work, signatures full of picture place holders look terrible. I think it really depends on what kind of business your company is in and whether there is a benefit to the recipient to get a little web page in every email you send.

Greetings all,I am looking at options for email signatures for a client. I have used Exclaimer in the past for in-house Exchange servers and like it. I am trialing the Office365 version presently.Just looking for thoughts on if you include images any more in email signatures? I'm talking company logo at a min and a few social media icons and links at a maximum. I note gmail now block embedded images (and I'm sure they're not alone) and we're all familiar with mail clients that will block the other option, web based images and give the option of downloading them.There's much to be said for a nice looking signature I think with a good logo and but not OTT, whilst there is also much to be said for a simple text based approach and nobody receiving broken images or blocked links when they open your mail.What say my fellow spiceheads?...

Email Signature HTML

Hello,
How can I use an Email signature that I have created in HTML on my Iphone Signature when I send Email from my Iphone
Thanks

I'm not talking about myspace-esque emails with odd fonts and gifs. I'm talking about creating informative emails that empower the users to include content that is meaningful. If I want to blast off a quick instruction in HTML email, I can provide headings with a bulleted list of tasks. With those tasks I can insert a picture that helps them follow along with what they need to do without having to open separate docs or navigate to a different area. Since I can do this in my email program, I don't have to use a different program to make this come together.
How is HTML a crutch? I'd like you to provide me a detailed email report with a chart and key points that will give me an overview of your argument before I dive in. I'm a busy man, I don't have time to read your wall of text. I have people to impress and bulletpoints to address. I can't risk looking like everything came from a typewriter when the world's marching forth with iWork, Office, and OpenOffice. If I can integrate these office tools in my email client? Bam, I'm there.
We aren't on a BBS, we aren't all using vi.
However, it's important to make rules and play by the rules

I don't see the point in trying to get upset over MS, either. I find that all camps have had something to offer, and are equally evil/at fault in their own way
For edification, Outlook includes options such as converting all text to plaintext because they have an overwhelming habit of trying to please everyone, which is both a minus and plus - and it's part of the reason it's hard for anyone to move away from exchange server.
OK, so the only phone I'm aware of that does HTML composition from a brand new email is Windows Mobile, and it does it in a very basic form.
However, we have recently seen iPhones, Blackberries, and Androids sending HTML as replies, and all can view HTML. Since Androids are open source, there's a ton of people busily attempting apps to solve this issue as well.
I think this points to the case that the mobile hardware is catching up to desktop hardware more than anything else, and people are trying to figure out how to make email maintain a good look on a smaller screen.
It just disappoints me mightily to see that my iPhone just got trumped by a Samsung ACE.

Company-wide email signature

How do I set up a company-wide email signature in Apple Mail? I want one common signature to reside on the server and have everyone in the company link to that common signature.

I can't find a clean answer for you.
You might use the Set-TransportRule cmdlet and one of the exception clauses to look for something in the header. I looked at an ActiveSync-generated header from my Droid (I don't have an iPhone to try this out on) and I see this:
Message-ID: [email protected]
The clause:
-ExceptIfHeaderMatchesPatterns "Message-ID:\s(\S|\s)*email.android.com"
should exclude messages sent from Droids. Of course, I can't say that it'll exclude all of them so you'll have to experiment and use trial and error.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997187(v=exchg.141).aspx
You may need to experiment with the rule because I haven't tested it.

The simplest way is to contact your email server team. I know exchange can add a disclaimer to all outgoing messages.
