Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Thanks for this. Just to clarify, we have a client that use BO as a
separate mailserver w/ AV-SPAM v5.<br>
<br>
It all works perfectly for them - there are about 100 users on the
system using imap and pop3 and roundcube.<br>
<br>
what the company wants to do is put a company signature with a
disclaimer at the bottom of every email. As it is only their email on
this server, this is OK.<br>
<br>
Iam just looking at trying to find the easiest way of doing this - eg:
in one place rather than 100!<br>
<br>
As we have AV-SPAM, there is no mailscanner on the server?<br>
<br>
Looks like the most resilliant solution will be to change each of the
100 email clients.<br>
<br>
oh well. thx for your help<br>

if it would support S/MIME the signature would be red in Outlook and a
broken pen in Thunderbird, as the mail would have been altered since I
sent it. Exactly what the topic poster wants to do.

Not quite, but almost. :o)
When I look at your signed message on the list (in Kmail), then it shows your
message body in a yellow block that starts with ...
*** Not enough information to check the signature (Details) ***
... Your message ....
*** End of signed message ***
Then right after that comes the footer that the list added.
So although your message has been altered (by adding the list footer!), the
signed section of the message body itself has not been changed.
If I had your key in my key ring, then even the attachment of the list footer
wouldn't break the signing of the message and the message would check out.
I know that from a couple of other lists where people (whose keys I have in my
keyring) sign their messages, too.
This works because a signed message is usually a multipart mime message. Yours
for example consisted of the following parts:
Text - multipart/signed
- Internal part (simple text - 7bit) <-- Your message body
- S/MIME Cryptographic Signature <-- Signature
- Text (simple) <-- list footer
So adding the list footer doesn't break the signature.
But yeah, I'd almost bet money on the fact that MailScanner would mess this up
and would break the signature. So I entirely agree with you: If my ISP would
add a footer to all my messages, then I'd also quit services with him in a
heartbeat.
