[SOLVED] Mandatory Domain Signature assistance please

**quietas** · 02-17-2011, 02:24 PM

I'm a bit slow on the implementation here, but back in Nov '09 the zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureEnabled options went live. The instructions are easy enough to follow.

In order to create a system wide mandatory signature the following steps can be
taken.
zmprov mcf zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureEnabled TRUE
zmprov mcf zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureText "some text"
zmprov mcf zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureHTML "<html><body>some html
text</body></html>"

Restart amavis to apply the configuration and write out the global signature
files used by altermime.

After a quick "zmprov gd domain.com" as the Zimbra user I got the following.

Code:

zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureEnabled: TRUE
zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureHTML: <html><body>test disclaimer html</body></html>
zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureText: test disclaimer text

I assumed this should indicate that the disclaimer text would be added to all further emails. The system wide signature shoud be tagged on below my normal user signature I would assume as well.

It isn't. I get the user sig, but nothing else added. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I have restarted amavisd, I have used zmcontrol restart to reload the whole of Zimbra, but I have not restarted the physical server.

did you manage to get the disclaimer to attach itself to all emails?

I never did. I've had issues getting it to work and haven't looked at it recently. I'll be upgrading to 7.1 soon and will probably attempt to make it work after that.

I have setup zimbraDomainmandatoryMailSignature correctly... but when I try to restart Amavis to apply the configuration, it says it must be ran as a Zimbra user..
How do I run this as a Zimbra user? I thought root would work...

su - zimbra

that should log you on as a zimbra user from root

**gra** · 05-03-2011, 07:06 AM

could you specify which Zimbra version you got the domain disclaimer working on? and the steps done to get it working?

zmcontrol -v

will display your zimbra cs version.

thanks!

http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...tml#post216377 - Shows a screen shot of what I did.. I finally got it to accept when I removed the quotation marks.

The Zimbra version should be: Client Version: 6.0.6_GA_2330.RHEL5_64 Client Release: 20100505193959 Build Date: 20100505-1951

Again, I'm new to Zimbra but definitely put in my hours learning.. In regards to zmcontrol.. I see that in opt/zimbra/bin/, but the CLI Utility doesn't pull up in the terminal like zmprov did. My command knowledge is short but I have all the commands and descriptions.. it's just the implementation of them that I need to learn.

Thanks a million

Life is about the details. For anyone who comes across this thread.. from the terminal type the command as shown su (space) - (space) zimbra:
su - zimbra

From one newb to another.. hope this helps someone.

has anyone managed to get this working on ZCS v7?

**gra** · 06-10-2011, 03:09 AM

My Zimbra Configuration
Release 7.1.1_GA_3196.RHEL5_64_20110527001604 CentOS5_64 NETWORK edition.

Requirements
Altermime
#altermime installed by default in ZCS v7 but read for how it works / installs
Adding a disclaimer (altermime) or footer - Zimbra :: Wiki

Instructions on getting it to work
#create disclaimer file in zimbra command line interface
zmprov mcf zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureEnabled TRUE
zmprov mcf zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureText "some text"
zmprov mcf zimbraDomainMandatoryMailSignatureHTML "<html><body>some html text</body>/html>"
#restart mail server
zmcontrol restart
#create disclaimer files (if not created by zimbra, which was the issue in my case)
vim /opt/zimbra/data/altermime/global-default.txt
#example file data
some text
#create html disclaimer file
vim /opt/zimbra/data/altermime/global-default.html
#example file data
<html><body>some html text</body>/html>

Once these files were created the domain signature / disclaimer was being appended to all email messages.
