Server Side Signatures

Hello

Exists there a way to manage on Virtualmin level server-side signatures for the e-mail accounts within a Virtual Server?

And if not, what external services are out there to be able to achieve them? I know those gmail, 365 … services that connect to your account, but what for these Postfix/Dovecot setups to achieve the same?

Thx, Kristof

do you mean the smtpd_banner setting in postfix → main.cf ?
this is the banner that the server displays when a client logs on to it or something else ?

@vanbernaert,

If you’re looking for a way to “append” a signature to outgoing email like “Cheers - Peter” or the like, then you’ve got your understanding incorrect.

Gmail for instance uses Postfix on the backend of their network to “send email” as Postfix is an SMTP server. The SMTP server does not do “signatures” or other fancy stuff found inside the Gmail interface.

The Gmail interface you see when you go to “gmail.com” is actually an “email client” like “Thunderbird”, “Outlook”… It’s just web based rather then installed on your computer.

So to make a long story short, unless you meant something else, there is no way to setup “signatures” or other stuff like that in Postfix, that’s not the purpose of the software. Customisation like that are done via an “email client”.

Hi @tpnsolutions, thank you for your explanation.

I indeed mention to append a signature on en email the moment it is sent out.

I understand that I’m using Roundcube as mailclient like gmail.com is too.
I have some customers where I use Exclaimer or Codetwo, to append this signature, server side, when the e-mail is sent out.

So, I’m wondering how to achieve the same with a mailserver install with Postfix.
I do understand that this can be set in the roundcube client, but that’s not my aim.

I want to setup/append an e-mail signature server-based for every e-mail that is sent out and didnt have yet ever the signature set.

with postfix try https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-automatically-add-a-disclaimer-to-outgoing-emails-with-altermime-postfix-on-debian-squeeze should work with other distro’s I guess
