Universal Disclaimer For Messages

PROBLEM

I want to add a disclaimer to messages, regardless of client used.

ENVIRONMENT

• On-Premise Server + WebMail Installations: Version 6.0 > Current Version
• Webmail Only Installations: Version 6.0 > Current Version

CAUSE

The Footer message is appended only to emails send via the WebMail Client, not to all emails.

RESOLUTION

1. Download altermime from: http://www.pldaniels.com/altermime/
   
   
2. Untar and install Altermime.
   
   
   tar xvfz altermime-0.3.8.tar.gz

   cd altermime-0.3.8

   make; make install

    
3. Open up your /usr/local/atmail/mailserver/configure file, and look for the following line:
   
   
   remote_smtp:

   driver = smtp

    
4. Add this directly beneath the above line:
   
   
   transport_filter="/usr/local/bin/altermime --multipart-insert --force-into-b64 --disclaimer-html=/usr/local/atmail/mailserver/.dischtml --disclaimer=/usr/local/atmail/mailserver/.discplain --input=- --force-for-bad-html"


5. Create the files /usr/local/atmail/mailserver/.dischtml and /usr/local/atmail/mailserver/.discplain for HTML and Plaintext disclaimers, respectively.
   
   
6. Restart Exim
   
   kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/atmail/mailserver/spool/exim-daemon.pid`
