Not Allowing Multiple HTML Signatures

Thu Sep 8 11:38:58 IST 2011

1) Nope, you can not prevent multiple signatures in text mails

2) Yes, it's the normal alt-tag behaviour, the text will be visible if the image can't be shown

I mainly use the function to prevent attaching several images to the mail, so I don't see the ALT-text unless the image has been removed by someone!

Dear Markus, thanks very much for the help. It worked like a charm. Your patch and the command. I would like to bother you and other experts with some more questions if I may.

1. Will the effect be felt if I use plain text messaging?
2. What ever I put in the "alt" tag it gets appears in the signature part. Is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks once again.

Dear Jules
I already tried the way it was mentioned in the comment in MailScanner.conf file. I also tried again after your feedback again with no success. Could there be a bug as mentioned by Mr. Markus. This is my inline.sig.html file content:
**********************************************************
<img alt="MailScanner Signature MyCompany"/>
 --
 This message has been scanned for viruses and
 dangerous content by
<a href=" http://www.mailscanner.info/ ">MailScanner</a>, and is
 believed to be clean.
***************************************************************
MyCompany above in html is the %org-name% value.

Dear Markus.
How can I apply that patch you mentioned above in my MailScanner configuration.

Thanks again for your valuable help and supported.
