AFAIK, no harm is done if you attach an 'empty' disclaimer file - though it
should at least *exist* to avoid throwing an error.

Ergo - KISS.

Rather than 'test' for presence/absence, just 'touch' such a file as part of
your normal setup for ALL domains/client_firms/departments.

Separately, cut-in the actual disclaimer text IF/AS/WHEN furnished. 'Chron'
reports, for example, probably won't ever need such.

With a bit of care in re setting up ownership/group privileges, you can, if need
be, empower the legal department or a departmental admin person to
update/replace/change the disclaimer w/o intervention by the sysadmin or mailadmin.

These could also be stored in a DB or .dot-something file with separate access
control from the MTA proper - much as vacation messages are.
