Usually this type of thing is done by the email client rather than the 
server.  However, to be helpful you might check out this page:

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Mail/sendmail-disclaimer.html

You could then substitute your own script that would check sending email 
address and, provided it is yours, attach your sig.

Good, I have only seen one type of automatic text I like and that is a 
single line similar to "Message Scanned by [Message Scanner] at [date-time].

If you must append text, make it very simple and straightforward.
