Foot prints

It is good idea to make up your own unique foot prints that you can later advertise to your users.

Foot print mapping offers a method of saying that people from department A should have signature A added their mails.

Make up a standard like "CompanyName-x-Department" or "CompanyName-N59" where N59 signifies the office on Nottinghill number 59. Something simple, but also unique to your company. Using the company name ensure that no one from outside is likely to have the same foot print since it is unique. But any unique word is good.

Then ask your users to replace their generic phone signatures with that.

This way you can add a specific signature to the people working out of the office on Nottinghill, if they just put "CompanyName-N59" as signature.

Uniqueness removes the risk of substituting a foot print that does not belong to your replies.

Dividers described in the next chapter tries to ensure correct substitution, but it is not 100% accurate. Some email client (including webmail client other than Exchange) does not produce any recognizable divider text. In this event DSTA will choose to abstain from adding a signature over the risk of adding a signature in the wrong spot.

New in 1.0.17

Uniqueness Override.

The transport agent now has a built-in generic list. If a footprint is not on this list it is considered unique. The risk of substituting a foreign footprint is close to nil if the footprint is unique. So a signature will be added even if a divider is not found.
