This is what I recommend since this means only the mail that they generate using a specific ID will have the signature created.  The users must be setup to send all "Rich text" messages to get the graphic signature.

For each of your nine signature sets, you can create both formatted and unformatted versions of your signatures: the unformatted version will be attached to plain text messages, while the formatted version will be attached to any message that contains formatting - pictures, tables, bold and so on. The formatted variants of your signatures can themselves contain tables and pictures if you wish.

You could probably do this using an outbound filter where the domain of the From: address matches the desired domain.  The problem here is that you will have to be sending all HTML messages to get the graphics and/or you will need to have both a plain text and HTML version of the outbound message.  In addition, this will always create the signature even if the message already contains the signature.

Inserting text into a message

One of the more powerful actions a rule can take is to insert text into a mail message. This can be used to add corporate disclaimers to outgoing messages, to indicate that particular messages have been processed by the mail system or just about any other purpose. The process of inserting text into a message is actually very complicated, but Mercury is quite smart about it and can handle all the most common cases. When you create a rule with an action that inserts a text fragment, you provide the rule with the name of a text file containing the text it should add. If you wish, you can create a second file in the same location and with the same name, but with the extension .HTM, containing simple HTML text that Mercury should insert into HTML documents. Mercury will insert the text version of the file into plain text message parts, and the HTML version into HTML parts (it is inserted immediately before the </HTML> tag at the end of the message). If you do not provide an HTML version of the text, Mercury will insert the text version in a <BLOCKQUOTE> section of the message, which is probably adequate for most situations. Note that if you provide an HTML part, it can include most HTML formatting except for graphics.

Hi,

This is another question about something we need to do for our new owners.  They have a company signature that they like to have used on all email which includes pictures and hyperlinks to various pages on their company web page, youtube facebook etc.  It is easy enough to paste the signature in to the Pegasus signature after the personal bits and I can do it that way for all users or they could be asked to do it themselves.

 I do not think the add a text fragment filtering rule or the  Mail disclaimer add on for Mercury will handle this kind of data though.  Is there a way to add a signature block of this type to the end of all emails automatically on the server?   I am quite happy not to do it on internal mail or on Forwards of course.
