Hi,

I really don't want to avoid the mailscan.
I just want to avoide the disclaimer for incoming mails and the mails from
the same domain as we know that it is scanned by mail scannner.

When there will be a lot of communications happens based on one email. All
emails will have the footer and some time, the footer area will be more than
the matter.

Is there any rulesets avoid this. 


Thanks & Regards,
 
Biju.V.P

The message gets appended to every clean message that MailScanner checks.
That would primarily be your incoming messages, as well as any mail sent out
through your server.

AFAIK it's an all or nothing setting.

All the various additions (for spam, viruses, etc) are in the /reports
directory by language (e.g., /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/). The basic file
for "clean" messages is inline.sig.txt (and inline.sig.html)

You always want MailScanner to check your messages, even if it's within the
same domain. If one user gets infected with something, you don't want to be
bypassing the checks. I'm not sure if it can be set to only append the
footer stuff based on the sender's domain, but I don't think so.

Is there really an issue with having the message appended? It lets you know
that MailScanner is actually up and working properly... if the footer wasn't
appended, how could you be sure that the message had in fact been scanned??
