An aside - you have not specified that the user community for whom you wish to
add disclaimers are / are-not 'resident' on the mail server.

So long as they are NOT seen as such (i.e. are 'virtual' accounts, or
authorized relay host users, not 'shell' account holders) the
acl_smtp_<whatever> clauses apply.

Any that *are* seen as 'local' sources, including shell logins, chron jobs, web
forms, and some, but not all, 'webmail' tools, OTOH, would need to be handled in
acl_not_smtp clauses, as such traffic 'outbound' does not traverse the smtp
session phases or acl's *at all*.

It does, however, traverse router/transport sets.

Mailing List Managers, if any are in use, have their own settings for adding
'unsubscribe' and disclaimer footers. As these may be under separate
administration, greater certainty of compliance with corporate policy may be
gained if these are also managed in router/transport sets.

Though 'none of the above' may apply here at present, it should be simplest and
most robust overall to add disclaimers in router/transport sets, as they are
more easily made selectively OR universally applicable to all traffic traversing
Exim - now or after future changes/additions.

Further, forms and similar web'ish things, if any, must be looked at to insure
they are using Exim and not an independent smtp sending tool of their own, which
exist for tcl, python, perl, and many other toolsets used with web pages.

Keeping anything web-related on a separate server from the MTA is recommended if
at all possible.

HTH,

Bill
