Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

Once you have disclaimer text resources created, select which text strings will be appended to messages 
received by the listener. You can add disclaimer text above or below a message. This feature is available 
on both public (inbound) and private (outbound) listeners.

If you send a message that consists of text and HTML (Microsoft Outlook calls this type of message a 
“multipart alternative”), the Cisco IronPort appliance will stamp the disclaimer on both parts of the 
message. However, if your message has signed content, the content will not be modified because the 
modification will invalidate the signature. Instead, a new part is created with a disclaimer stamp that says 
“

Content-Disposition inline attachment

.” For more information on multipart messages, see 

“Message Bodies vs. Message Attachments” in the “Using Message Filters to Enforce Email Policies” 
chapter of the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email Advanced Configuration Guide.

The following example shows how to select a disclaimer to apply to messages on a listener via the GUI:

You can also append specific, predefined text strings to the disclaimers of messages using the filter 
action 

add-footer()

 or the content filter action “Add Disclaimer Text.” For example, the following 

message filter rule appends the text string named 

legal.disclaimer

 to all messages sent from users in 

the LDAP group “Legal:”

You can also use message filter action variables (see “Action Variables” in the “Using Message Filters 
to Enforce Email Policies” chapter in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email Advanced Configuration 
Guide for more information). 

Add-Disclaimer-For-Legal-Team:

if (mail-from-group == 'Legal')

{

  add-footer('legal.disclaimer');

}
