Comments on How To Automatically Add A Disclaimer To Outgoing Emails With alterMIME (Postfix On Debian Lenny)

Email disclaimers are useless and very likely unenforceable.  Just because you can add them doesn't mean you should.  Google "Stupid email disclaimers".

David,

Disclaimers aren't the only application for this.  I run the mail server for a small business that does most communication through email blasts (aka a mailing list).  The owner of the business wants anyone who has a company email address to have a "disclaimer" at the bottom with instructions on how to join the mailing list.  Very valid in my case, and nothing to do with "disclaimers".

It is over my head how to configure, but it would be cool to integrate this with https://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-debian-lenny, maybe a boolean field in the users table for disclaimer (to send or not).

Thanks for the great how-to's!

I have implemented this on a mail server configured like the one listed by you. The only change that you have to do in order to make it work is :

from_address=`grep -m 1 "From:" in.$$ | cut -d " " -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1` 

 You have a space on " cut -d "space" '.

It took me an hour of troubleshooting in order to realize why doesn't work " out of the box".

This option is working fine with my mail server.

Thanks for the advice.

 Thanks alot.

Current altermime in Debian Lenny adds garbage when Outlook sends in RTF.

You need to get the patch from here: http://r0b0tz.com/?p=19

and remake the Debian packages

Good Afternoon.

 I need to configure the disclaimer. The config is ok, but the font size is very large and i'd like to reduce the size of the font to 8pt. Is it is possible?

 I'm wainting a reply.

 Thanks.

 Sorry about the englesh.

Hello,
