That's what i thought. And it is not me who wants to put the
disclaimer... It is the CFO and CEO so if they say put it, i have to
put whatever they want to put in it...

Thanks

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to add a disclaimer to every outgoing email using my setup (Postfix+Dovecot)..

Dovecot only deals with allowing users to access the e-mail they've received. This would be a task for postfix.

But please, please don't. http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid- disclaimers/

So tell them it's not possible with Postfix (we don't even do it with Exim) and justify it. Then ask them (subject to your willingless to go that way and their willingness to pay for the hardware and software) to take you for M$ Exchange training, buy Exchange, buy third party software to add disclaimers and you are ready to go!

Well, this might even work, because some laws enforce certain information in emails. If you say: Well, my nice working FOSS cannot do that, but Exchange can, it may fire back on you.

Personally, I dislike the disclaimer stuff as well, esp. because information transmitted by mails not signed is suspicious per se, but you can do this with postfix as well, if I interprete

right. You will find more.

Because to change a mail might break the content, there is another way:

1. Have any mail client add the disclaimer and
2. add a milter to postfix, that blocks all outgoing mails without the disclaimer in it.

That way you need not alter the mail and, hence, cannot break it. One (seldom used) feature, which will break is to sign or encrypt mails.
