Easy. Write a litte script that prints a random signature, using "fortune". Let's assume that script is called "s". Next, in the recource-file of your mailer (my mailer is mutt, so the file I need here is ".muttrc"), is al line something like: set signature="~/.signature" # file which contains my signature You just have to change this to: set signature="| ~/bin/s" and you're up and running.
