Disclaimer · Exchange Server SE

Email signaturesfor Exchange Server.From your own AD.

Automatic signatures with name, job title and phone from your local Active Directory. Server-side at the gateway, the same on every device, without Entra ID.

Where signatures on Exchange fall short

Four familiar spots.

Transport rules hit their limits

A rule inserts fields, but appends the text below quoted replies and leaves gaps where fields are empty.

On-premises signature products are retired

Vendors have discontinued their on-premises editions and point to cloud services with Entra ID.

Client signatures drift

Templates per Outlook get copied, changed and forgotten. On phones the signature is often missing entirely.

Mandatory details unchecked

Registered office, register court, managing directors: nobody checks whether they sit under every business message.

How the signature is built on Exchange

Three building blocks.

1. Send connector to the gateway

Outbound mail runs through Conbool, the MX stays unchanged.

2. Fields from AD

The directory agent supplies name, job title, department and phone, outbound and without an open port.

3. Template by rule

Templates by directory group as well as sender and recipient domain.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up an automatic signature on Exchange Server?
With a transport rule for simple texts or centrally through a gateway. With Conbool outbound mail runs through a send connector, and the signature is built there with fields from Active Directory.
Can the signature use fields from Active Directory?
Yes. The directory agent reads display name, job title, department, phone, mobile, office and address. Which attribute fills which field can be changed per field.
Is Entra ID required?
No. The data comes straight from the local Active Directory, without syncing to the cloud.
Does the signature apply to messages from phones?
Yes. It is built at the gateway, regardless of the device the message is sent from.
What about Exclaimer and CodeTwo on Exchange Server?
Exclaimer discontinued Signature Manager Exchange Edition, support ended on 30 September 2024. CodeTwo lists Exchange Rules Pro as discontinued and points to a successor product. If you are switching anyway, you can bundle signatures with filtering, encryption and archive.
Is there an Outlook add-in for Exchange Server?
Yes, with a dedicated manifest for Exchange Server. It shows templates in the mailbox and runs without Microsoft 365.
