Zimbra

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to easily give everyone a signature. In my current non-zimbra setup I do the following.

I have a custom script that I run from a shell. This uses company wide settings, and reads a config file for any user specific information.

When the script runs, it creates a signature in HTML format. This then gets copied to a samba share where users unknowingly access it with thunderbird.

A second copy gets moved into a subdirectory in squirrel mail.

The end result is that I have some control over the end users signature. If the company wants to make a slight change to the signature, I can easily apply it to everyone, and it doesn't matter if they are using thunderbird or web mail.

Is there a way to "inject" an html signature from the command line? Ideally I should start pulling settings from ldap, but for now I just need the ability to add everyones signature before we live with zimbra.

Thanks.

HTML signatures will be in a later release of Zimbra but in the meantime search the wiki for 'disclaimer' and see if that will do what you want.

perhaps I can modify my script to make ldif's and pipe them into ldap... that feels a little dangerous though.

That's very dangerous.

We generally don't recommend users alter the ldap schema.
This probably will cause problems during updates.

I wasn't going to touch the actual schema. Basically I was going to try and figure out the ldap query that zimbra does, and mimic it. Still dangerous of course, as I don't know if it is doing anything else.

I have since found a much better way to do it, which makes me a LOT more comfortable.

Code:

[zimbra@zimbra log]$ zmprov ma artimus@domain.tld zimbraPrefMailSignatureEnabled TRUE zimbraPrefMailSignatureStyle internet zimbraPrefMailSignature "this is my signature"

I agree with you in the fact it is more comfortable, but how to record a mail signature composed of several lines ???

I'm trying to inject "\n" characters, or whatever that could put one or several CRLF, but it doesn't work !

How can I inject a such mail signature from the CLI ???

Thanks in advance.
