The problem has to do with electronic signatures. Any sort of signing that's done needs to happen after the footer is added. Having the server add a footer would break gpg that's implemented by the client.

There might be a suitable way to add a footer on the server for submitted (authenticated) messages that are otherwise unsigned, before adding a DKIM signature. We can certainly look into this at some point, but it's not a priority in my view. Of course, anyone can make it their own priority and write some code to do it. This is after all a community project.

P.S. I'd beg to differ that "all" enterprises implement this at the server, although many of them do. Many of them also run Exchange, which I do not recommend in most cases. ;)

P.P.S. There is also some disagreement as to the effectiveness of these disclaimers. Personally, I think they're rather silly (although IANAL). I wonder if there's ever been a case in court where a disclaimer had any effect.

Eric,

Just really wonder - what makes you say that? In all mid to large
enterprises, the disclaimer is added at the server and not by an e-mail
client. The email client sets contact details/names/positions etc. in
the footer.

I believe back in 2009, Jake wanted to implement it in QT 2.0

    This cannot (and arguably should not) be done in the server. It
    needs to
    be set up in each client.
