hm,

ok - there is no way to add a disclaimer via exim-MTA because it is not
legal ?
So I have to (down)grade from exim to postfix to make it work ? For post-
fix there exists an good howto, how to integrade alterMIME to it.
Is there no way to do this for exim, without thinking 'bout any current
legal advice ?
