Because of the limitations of 1&1's email hosting (mailbox size) I am about to switch the management of our email to our other server which has WHM, CPanel and Exim installed. It's a CentOS box and I have root access should I need to fiddle with settings, or break it.
It has dawned on me that it will now be possible to modify the emails that get sent through the server. So I am doing a bit of research for my boss into how we can add a standardised signature to the bottom of the company's emails with the sender's name, email and possible direct dial number.
Having read this forum post it certainly seems that it's possible. However it is widely acknowledged that it's wrong and it's bad to modify an email at MTA level. :(
But surely there must be a nice way of accomplishing this. Soon our company is going to hire a LARGE number of staff and the admin work in changing signatures is going to be a nightmare - not to mention a mixture of Thunderbird, Outlook and MacMail clients. A company that hires and fires (not that ours does) would surely need some sort of automatic signature so what is the RIGHT way of doing this?
Any help is appreciated.
