You really don't want to do that.

1) All a spammer has to do is fake the originating address to get a free
pass past SA.  (You can close this particular hole by identifying
outbound mail based on the relay IP address rather than the sender's domain.)

2) Disclaimers are useless.  See http://goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
and http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang

If, in spite of this, you still want to forge ahead with adding disclaimers,
please see http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?BoilerplateOutgoing
