I'm wondering if I can create a general rule that always triggers which

adds the disclaimer (so that all the mails processed by Mercury would

have the disclaimer added), is there any predictable problem doing so?

Yes, you'll get multiple disclaimers since all messages will get the disclaimer each time it goes through Mercury.  Autoforwards, are the first ones that come to mind but anything forwarded without editing will get multiple disclaimers.  That's why the outbound filters were added.

Hi there

Mercury 4.72

I'm trying to add a disclaimer to all the outgoing messages (local and outside). For this I edited the outgoing rules, they were empty so I created a rule which triggers allways, for action I chose "Add a text fragment (disclaimer)" and for parameter I gave the name of the txt file.

When I send an email nothing is added and I don't know why. Any idea?

TIA

Did you add thr full path to the txt file?

Does an "Always" rule with "Log console message" action show a message in the System Messages window?

Yes the full path is included (the set button acts the same way than a browse button).

I added an "Always" rule with "Log console message" action, and nothing happens neither, what should happen with this rule?

Thanks for your help

It should print your "Parameter:" text in the System Messages window. I find it very handy for troubleshooting rules (and identifying which one was hit, I have a fairly long & complex list)

Also, Outgoing rules will only be triggered by messages to NON-local addresses.

The solution was the definition of outgoing mail: the mails sent to non local addresses and my tries were with local addresses, with a non local address it works fine.

What kind of rule should I create to add a text at the bottom of every message, local or not?

Thanks a lot for your help

You probably don't want it on incoming messages, so you could use a "Headers" - "From" contains "yourdomain.com" trigger.

Edit: in the general rule not outgoing.

Thanks, it works but only for people having a From: header from our domain, most of the users are in that case but a few use also a private identity, so their From: header  is from another domain.
