> If you have a current default signature, the API will update that, but if you delete it, it seems that the API will not over-write any of the other signatures, but instead add a new signature called My signature. If you rename that signature, the API will keep on updating that same signature, and not touch the other signatures.

Is there any workaround? 

Usecase: I want my users using 2 aliases, and have a signature for each alias.

Pedro,


Each Sendas address can have it's own signature, you have to specify it on the command line as the API has no support for referencing alternate signatures created in the GUI.

So can I set a signature the sendas email, and all users with an alias of that email are automatically configured with that signature?

No, you have set the signature for each user for each of their sendas addresses.

You can have local template signatures that can have user specific data added when they are set for the user.

Thank you, success! 

One follow up, the HTML i'm sending is not being correctly formatted. i.e when i open the .html in the browser everything is fine, but once it's sent as a signature and i send an email, that signature is weirdly formatted. is this faulty HTML on my side or something else?

Pedro,

Show me the command you use to update the sendas/signature.

I compose the signature in the UI for a test user.
gam config csv_output_header_filter signature redirect csv ./Signature.html noheader quotechar "|"  user test...@domain.com print signature compact
Strip the leading/trailing | from Signature.html; replace || with | it appears anywhere.
