Using multy-conditional filters (if/then/ELSEIF/else)

Question

Hello,
I need to create multiple policies for adding disclaimers.
We have a default disclaimer and now two unique ones for domains that need to maintain their own.
I created text recourses for all disclaimers and like to make a content filter that does the following:
if the senderdomain = UniqueDomain1 then
add disclaimerDomain1
Else if the senderdomain = UniqueDomain2 then
add disclaimerDomain2
Else
Add default Disclaimer
I created the following filter syntax:
add_disclaimer: if (recv-listener == "relay") AND (mail-from == "^.*@domain1\\.com$")
{add-footer("domain1Disclaimer");}
elif (recv-listener == "relay") AND (mail-from == "^.*@domain2\\.com$")
{add-footer("domain2Disclaimer");}
elif (recv-listener == "relay")
{add-footer("defaultDisclaimer");}
When I submit the filter I get the error "An error occurred during processing: Syntax error at the end of filter".
Does anyone know if Ironport filters support the Python "elif" routine? if so, what am I doing wrong, if not..... does anyone have any suggestions what way I can deliver this functionality?
Thank you!

You can probably get the IF/ELSE IF/ELSE logic to work on the Ironport message filters, but I would suggest that you use a combination of Outgoing mail policies and outgoing content filters.
1. Create all your different disclaimers in the [Mail Policies > Text Resources] section.
2. Create a corresponding outgoing content that pertains to each sender domain and assign the outgoing content filter.
i.e.
Let's say you have two domains and then the default domain:
domain1, domain2, default domain
if "mail-from" ends with "@domain1"
then
apply domain1-disclaimer-footer
deliver();
if "mail-from" ends with "@domain2"
then
apply domain2-disclaimer-footer
deliver();
if "mail-from" ends with "default-domain"
then
apply default-disclaimer-footer
deliver();
3. Then go to your outgoing mail policies > default policies > content filters and enable all three filters.
Similarily, you can create two additional customized outgoing mail policies and each policy can have it's own outgoing content filters.
Bottom line, you can definitely do it with message filters, but the outgoing mail policies/outgoing content filters may be easier to maintain.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
