Would need some help to setup disclaimer note for our corporate email server at the end of every mail sent out.
Does any body have any idea how to move about it.
I recommend telling your management that those disclaimers have no value, and are a waste of bandwidth. At least the Linux-India-* lists have a ban on legal disclaimers in mails. If they want authentication, tell them to use gpg/pgp, or get certificates from Safescrypt/Verisign/Thawte/.... and use S/MIME.
Absolutely..Agreed. Actually, these habits have thrived because M$ Xchange and some other so called MTAs allow you to do all such stupid things at the MTA level - adding disclaimers, requesting mail receive notifications...the list goes on.
Anyway, if you really want to set those, then set the signature in the mail client, a SMTP server really should not modify a mail (it breaks digital signatures, a a minimum).
apart from file attachments and normal signatures.
