Scenario
You have a requirement for users within your organization to be able to apply a certain Server-Side signature to one-off emails. This signature may need to be applied instead of the default signature that applies to the user.
Resolution
CAUTION!
The steps described here assume that you have already created an email signature. For more information, see how you can create an email signature.
If you wish to override the default signature using the method below, please ensure that the signature with the subject line trigger rule is positioned before the default signature.
