Q. Why does disclaimermilter add more than one disclaimer to the messages I
   send?

A. It doesn't (actually)

   The software works very simply - if the message is going out, it adds the
   disclaimer.  Looking into the message for an existing disclaimer is possible
   with some extra programming, but it unlikely to be as succesful as you might
   hope.

   It is not trivial to decide whether the disclaimer is already present. If
   the disclaimer is present because it was quoted in a message which was sent
   to you, then it will usually be reformatted or indented.
   
   In mailing lists, it is good neiquette to remove extra material from
   replies.  Unfortunately in business people seldom do this, and happily send
   back the text of the message the received, legal notices and all.
   

Q. How do you install it?

A. I don't quite remember.  Read the README, and see if that says what to do.


Q. disclaimermilter adds a disclaimer even when there is one present already!

A. The best way of fixing this is to use a mail agent that is smart enough not
   to quote the disclaimer (e.g. pine).  Since, however, the users that insist
   on having disclaimers are too dumb to edit their mail before they send it, 
   disclaimermilter provides an option to check for text which indicates the
   disclaimer is already present.  -c option allows you to specify text to
   check for to not add the disclaimer.  If that text is found, the message is
   left unchanged.  e.g.  disclaimermilter -p /var/run/disclaimermilter.sock -

   Without any -c options, the disclaimer is not added if it is found
   *VERBATIM* in the outgoing message.
