Okay.. here is how you want to do this. First, compile qmail like regular and
install it. Then apply the appended patch to qmail-smtpd.c so that it will add
the footer you want. Compile qmail again and install the new qmail-smtpd to
something like /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-footer. Then set things up so that
when your customers send e-mail they connect to an ipaddress which is served by
qmail-smtpd-footer program, so that this mail will get branded. But make sure
that your MX records point to an ipaddress so which is running the standard
qmail-smtpd, so that your incoming mail will not get branded.
I don't see it mentioned in the tcpserver from ucspi-tcp-0.84 man page how to
make it bind to a specific ipaddress. You might need to hack tcpserver, but
first take a look at the latest version and see if it supports this. Or you
could always just use two boxes for incoming and outgoing e-mail.
The patch to qmail-smtpd.c to make it add footers is appended.
Hope this helps.
