DisclaimerMilter
Sendmail's milter interface allows you to add any number of mail filters to
your mail. This particular filter adds a disclaimer to outgoing mail handled by sendmail.
E-mail disclaimers usually say something like this:
E-mail is not necessarily secure or error free as information could arrive late
or contain viruses or could be incomplete, intercepted, corrupted, lost or
destroyed. It is the responsibility of the named recipient(s) to ensure that
E-mails are virus free.
There are excellent legal reasons not to add a disclaimer to your mail
(e.g. by doing this you may be taking responsibility unnecessarily, and you
will have to prove every implicit assertion). However, many people choose to
ignore these reasons and forge ahead anyhow, so here's the tool to do it.
The DisclaimerMilter filter is based on cvgfilter. We have added command line
configuration, and removed all of the spam and content filtering (which we
found very distracting, and difficult to disable). (This was not a large
programming effort, so don't send us fan mail - it's mostly other people's
work.)
