In our organisation all inbound and outbound SMTP traffic is routed through a
NT server running MIMESweeper. This has the ability to add footers to
outbound email. (As you'll see below when this gets to you...)
It also runs some basic content filtering checks, and checks all mail that
passes through it with Sophos Anti-virus. I'm told that it works reliably
and rarely has any problems.
I used to have a patch to qmail that inserted footers onto the end of every
mail. However, it didn't work with mail containing MIME attachments. As I
didn't think my limited C hacking skills would get this working reliably, we
stuck with the MIMESweeper solution.

The MUAs we use are configured to use our main mail server for SMTP and POP.
qmail then handles any SMTP routing. Internal mail is handled locally by the
mail server, with outbound mail routed through the NT server. This lets us
get away with not having the disclaimer stamped on internal mail. (Of
course, it also means that internal mail is not virus checked. We're looking
into using Amavis to do this.)
Hope this helps.
