attaching a signature with procmail

Marcelo Celleri — Mon, 02 Aug 2004 09:56:05 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to attach my business signature to the outgoing messages but first I have to filter some mail so I do this with procmail, is there a way in wich I could concatenate a text file with the signature on it with procmail? or better than that, is there a way in wich I could attach a gif file with my logo?

Thanks in advance...

Procmail is generally used for incoming
messages. I haven't seen it used for
outgoing messages.

I would suggest you look at the signature
capability of your email tool. Most have
the ability to add a signature automatically.

Some mail software includes a vcard format signature. These can be automatically or manually added to contact lists.

If you insist on using procmail, you can
filter the message through a filter that
adds the signature at the end.

There is a standard of separating the signature
from the body with line containing "-- " (DASH DASH SPACE). This is not often followed.

With some abount of modfication, the script I'm attaching can be used to send mail with or without attachments and include a signature.

For outbound mail, this is more easily accomplished with the email client.

There are probably lots of ways to do it with ascript.

There is another way to do it with sendmail?
I just want to sign my outgoing messages, but still I have to validate if the mail goes from one of my users to another (in this case I don't want to sign) or if the mail goes to the people outside..., also I'm using MailScanner, maybe it could help, because it has a inline signature inside of its configuration, but it signs everything...
