Would be of interest to know how to do this per domain and with a database that the domain admins could handle the disclaimer.

 Correction:

 
from_address=`grep -m 1 "^From: " in.$$ | cut -d "<" -f 2 | cut -d ">" -f 1`
 
now it works good

For those who have truncated mails, try the "-i" option in the script for sendmail... '$SENDMAIL -i "$@" <in.$$'

I found actually when using DKIM in my instance (annoying as it was when trying to get this to work) it kept finding the first From: which would be within the signature so it'd never find the From: with the email address from the sender missing out the disclaimer entirely, this is what I have worked out what works for me (when sending originals out, so far anyway... though for some forwarded ones it doesn't at least for some strange reason), so had to change the from_address variable to:

from_address=`grep -m3 "From:" in.$$ | tail -n1 | cut -d "<" -f 2 | cut -d ">" -f 1`

I´m having some troubles using this HowTo.

If I´m using Altermime without the modifications regarding the specified disclaimer_addresses it is working fine (just disabled the if-statement). The disclaimer is added to each outgoing email.

If I use the if-satement, I have differen ouput in the mail.log-file, but no disclaimer is added:

Apr  3 09:22:37 zulu1234 postfix/pipe[5999]: 894449F4B1B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=dfilt, delay=17, delays=17/0.01/0/0.16, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dfilt service)Apr  3 09:25:17 zulu1234 postfix/pipe[6585]: 79D639F4B1B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=dfilt, delay=7.1, delays=7/0.01/0/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dfilt service (grep: [email protected]: No such file or directory))

The first Email (894449F4B1B) is an outgoing Mail that should contain the disclaimer, but does not.The second Email (79D639F4B1B) is an outgoing Mail that should NOT contain the disclaimer (and does not).

Any tip what causes that issue and how to solve?

Regards

Stefan
