I have installed it now. One comment on this patch : Why is the remote signature put when I send a mail to a user on another machine in the same domain ? Aren't domains typically entities with small or medium grain, where people tend to know each other quite well ? In our case (domain .crin.fr, with ~ 50-70 machines), I would put a short signature for all mail to any user@XXX.crin.fr. What about a compromise with 3 levels : - local machine - local domain - all the others ?? Any comments ? -- --- Karl Tombre @ CRIN / INRIA Lorraine EMAIL : tombre@loria.crin.fr - POST : BP 239, 54506 VANDOEUVRE CEDEX, France
