In this step you will create a group-specific add banner option that will be available to
group administrators. First you will use the pmx-group-file command to create
the group-specific banner option. Then you will edit the PureMessage policy to create an action that can be used to
append a disclaimer to all outgoing mail.
-
To add a group banner:
-
At the command line, as the "pmx" user, run the following:
pmx-group-file --add --id outgoing-disclaimer-per-group --name "Outgoing Disclaimer"\
--type banner --charset latin1
-
Run pmx-profile sync-from-db --all.
-
Run pmx-httpd restart.
A new template is added to the /opt/pmx/var/lib/multifile directory.
In addition, a new category, Banners, is displayed on the sidebar of the
Configuration tab. The group administrator can now click
Outgoing Disclaimer to display a text box for adding banner
text.
-
To create a group-specific "add banner" action:
-
In the PureMessage Manager, click the
Policy tab.
The default PureMessage policy is displayed in
constructor mode.
-
At the bottom left of the page, click add main rule.
A set of controls for creating a new rule is displayed.
-
Use the text box and drop-down lists to create a rule identical to the one shown below.

-
Click the Arguments button.
The Add banner dialog box is displayed.
-
In the Add banner dialog box, select Group-specific
banner. In the adjacent text box, type
outgoing-disclaimer-per-group, which is the ID you assigned to this
banner template using the pmx-group-file command.
-
Click OK.
-
Click Save.
-
Click Cut.
-
Click the existing rule, Reject mail containing viruses, in the
Mail from internal hosts section of the policy.
-
Click Paste.
-
Click Save.
-
Click Commit.
