Signatures in Intermedia Hosted Exchange

Hi Kjan78,

If you are talking about their personal photo there are limitations in-place which will prevent you from having a full signature as an image file unless you don't mind it being the size of the photo in the user account. You could create the image and ref it externally using HTML but keep in mind that if a message is sent plain text or the recipient/email server only accepts plain text; all the HTML tags would be stripped out rendering all the CSS and imagery useless.

How big is the company? Can you have them individually put their own signatures via OWA/Outlook and then create a company disclaimer wrapper for the global footer? The company disclaimer does support HTML tags with in-line CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Exchange 2010/2013 support up to 5000 characters too. Here a list of Attribute inclusions you can use too:

What is the size limitation for jpegphoto?


We have CodeTwo transport rules. Would it work the same for Intermedia as 365? Intermedia plays like they don't know what CodeTwo is.

Would it be possible to have an embedded logo and embedded personal picture?

Looks like Exchange is quite limited when comparing abilities with codetwo.

What are the dimensional limit for jpegphoto? Could I use a Business Card style for each user?

So CodeTwo should work with Intermedia? They have offered no assistance or permission to use it against them.

One of our issues is Codetwo for outlook needs to work for Mobiles too. Is that possible? Codetwo works for 365. Isn't intermedia the same setup?

Also, am I able to Setup the user signature with a jpegphoto (company logo) and another jpegphoto (face picture)?

There are def some major drawbacks.  Thanks for clarifying but I just had these questions left.
Just to verify:
1.CodeTwo likely works with Office365 due to 365 not having shared servers?
2.It is not possible to use a 2 jpegphoto in one signature.
3.It is not possible to use 1jpegphoto and 1thumbnailphoto in one signature?
4.Using http images will force most mail applications to download images to download the signature pictures?

1. code two will work office 365 or intermedia by using the outlook version. but your limitation on mobile phone still exist.


2. there is no 2jpegphoto in 1 person

3. actually, for exchange basic disclaimer, i did not see any method to attach a photo in signature

4. using http image will be the only way and as you said, it will force other mail application to do so.


in order to retain such capability externally, you can force all your email to route back to on-premise exchange. this capability will not apply internal email.

1. CodeTwo states they work with 365 by connecting to the server and dropping in the rules. Looks like 365 worked with CodeTwo for it to happen?

2/3. Looks like the jpegphoto is only for internal Outlook and not able to be put on signatures?

4.Looks like embedded links are the deal breaker with this client.

1. yes, seems like you are right. though technically, i am not sure how do it achieve. if it is possible then you got a win.


Signatures for Office 365
Now you can manage all Office 365 email signatures from one place. Just compose a signature template using CodeTwo Email Signatures and deploy it using the administrator's account. Split second and your Office 365 users have a global signature even in messages sent from mobile devices, such as iPhone or iPad (via OWA for iOS) or Android (OWA for Android).

2/3/4, and if above statement is true, you don't need to worry about all of these.

okay. i re-read the statement more than 3 times.
for all other phones, you can't use activesync (which is the default tool), you need to ask them to use OWA for Android to achieve the signature functions.

ios

you can't use the default activesync services

Oh wow, they want you to use mobile OWA instead of native. yeah right.

Looks like intermedia shares servers as opposed to 365 allowing your own and that's why we can use Codetwo with 365. It looks like we have to go the route of Intermedia Outlook for managed signatures with different formats and picture then have to manual create the Mobile signatures.

Thanks for assisting. Digging through this signature items have been painful for me but I hope this helps out other users who are going to the 'cloud'.. which is everyone hah!
