[Mimedefang] Boilerplate Vanished

[Barry Byrne]

Ric:

How about something like this. Drop the SendmailMacro bit if not applicable.

 - Barry

# This function returns true if mail relayed from localhost (127.0.0.1)
# or if relay is 192.168.0.101 (substitute IP of your Exchange server)
# or if user has been authenticated by sendmail (SMTP_AUTH) - delete if not
needed

sub is_local_sender {
	if ($RelayAddr =~ /127\.0\.0\.1/
		|| $RelayAddr =~ /192\.168\.0\.101/
		|| exists($SendmailMacros{'auth_authen'})) {
		return 1;
	} else {
		return 0;
	}
}

# Only append_boilerplate if local relay.

if (is_local_sender()) {
	append_boilerplate($entity, "blah blah...");
}
