You should be aware that changing an email's content on the server may
violate your users' "privacy".

I would try to satisfy the needs of your company by putting the
disclaimer into your users' signatures. Maybe they can do that
theirselves; then you haven't got that much work of it...;-)

Gruss,

I understand your point however this is a request from management which I
muts find a solution.

If anyone out there has done this please let me know?

The Exim 4 FAQ tells you why you shouldn't do this but then tells you
how. (I haven't tried it.)

What about this: Your Management advises everyone to include the
disclaimer in his/her signature. This way, you haven't got any work at
all - excepted from helping your users to change their signature.

Changing mail bodies on the mail server is not trivial - you should
consider that encryption or signing methods like pgp/gpg are used. In
this case, changing a bodie is no good...

Apart from that, I personally dislike disclaimers: They often are
longer than the mail body, and the information contained in the
disclaimer is not that worthy... ;-)

Gruss,
Christian
