Why is this necessary?

We use a service called Exclaimer; this service automatically adds a signature to any of your outgoing emails with your name, position and any contact information you have provided. While it may look like your email is going out without a signature on it, Exclaimer is intercepting the email, adding your signature to it, and sending it off to the recipient.

Bonus Tip:

If you would like to test and see if your signature looks correct, you can try emailing yourself, and you should see what the end result looks like. Of course, if you need any corrections to your signature, please let the IT department know!
