Email Signatures

[Shadow_Walker]

Just wondering how other schools handle email signatures. Mainly SLT here want them with school details on with the school logo alongside which we do fine on there pcs but what about keeping them the same on other devices e.g. ipads etc.

 

Not really an issue at the moment as it works but just curious of how everyone else does them.

 

Thanks

We have Exchange and have set it up as an outbound rule. School logo is an image stored on our web server and linked so it always works. I tired various ways and this seemed the easiest and most convenient way.

There are software based options. I personally like the Exclaimer software. Depending on if you ahev an on premise exchange or use office 365 they have a variety of options.

We let everyone do their own. I like @TechMonkey's idea but we dont have an exchange server no more.

I looked at this over the summer and wanted to do have the school details below each email message that went outside the organisation otherwise if you set "signatures" via exchange's transport rules, youll find that the signatures end up at the very bottom of the email. I foubd only codetwo could get round this problem meaning extra software had to be bought.

 

Now i have a rule that says if {string of custom words} are found in the email (such as our disclaimer) dont apply the school details.

 

I got sick of seeing the school address flyibg around internal emails (85% of our mail is internal) and also it wastes virtual ink and space , so now signatures are title and name with job title underneath. Like i said, anything external has the school details on depending on rules.

We link to a URL for the "corporate" signature - It saves tonnes of paper for when staff over-zealously print.

We then let everyone add their own in gmail.
