Email Disclaimer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Altermime is a small utility that allows you to append a disclaimer to all outbound emails on a cPanel server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Installing altermime<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should be able to copy and paste the following commands in. You’ll need to be root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cd \/usr\/local\/src\/ \nwget pldaniels.com\/altermime\/altermime-0.3.10.tar.gz \ntar xvfz altermime-0.3.10.tar.gz \ncd altermime-0.3.10 \nmake \nmake install<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Setup Disclaimer Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Create two disclaimer files.  One is text and the other is for HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Text file<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
nano \/usr\/local\/etc\/exim\/textdisclaimer<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add your disclaimer text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-------------\nincredigeek.com<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
HTML File<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Create the HTML disclaimer file with<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nano \/usr\/local\/etc\/exim\/htmldisclaimer<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And add your disclaimer HTML to the file.  Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<p>\n-----\n<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\">incredigeek.com <\/a>\n<\/p><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
3. Modify Exim Configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now that we have the disclaimer files set up, we can move on to configuring Exim so the disclaimer text gets added to every email sent out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open up WHM and go to Exim Configuration Editor -> Advanced Editor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Exim Advanced Editor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A. Configuring Routers Configuration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Find the ROUTERS CONFIGURATION section.  We will add some configuration in the “Section: PREROUTERS<\/strong>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add disclaimer to Single Domain<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Paste in the following to add the disclaimer to a single domain.  Replace “incredigeek.com” with your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
disclaimer:\ndriver = dnslookup\ndomains = ! +local_domains\ntransport = ${if eq {$sender_address_domain}{incredigeek.com}{disclaimer_smtp}{remote_smtp}}\nno_more<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Add Disclaimer to Single Domain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Add Disclaimer to Entire Server (Optional)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If you would rather apply the disclaimer to the entire server, use the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
disclaimer:\ndriver = dnslookup\ndomains = ! +local_domains\ntransport = disclaimer_smtp<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Add Disclaimer to Entire Server<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B. Configure Transports Configuration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once we have that added we can find the “TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION” section and under the first “Section: TRANSPORTSTART<\/strong>” add<\/p>\n\n\n\n
disclaimer_smtp:\ndriver = smtp\ntransport_filter = \/usr\/local\/bin\/altermime  --input=- --disclaimer=\/usr\/local\/etc\/exim\/textdisclaimer --disclaimer-html=\/usr\/local\/etc\/exim\/htmldisclaimer\nsize_addition = 1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Add Disclaimer to TRANSPOTSTART<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That should be everything that you need.  Send a test email to an external email account to verify that it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that it looks like sending an email locally to email addresses on the same domain or to yourself bypass the filter and do not get the disclaimer added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
