No one doubts that it is your employer that is requiring the disclaimer. When you are using your company resources you are restricted by your company policies as a matter of your employment contract. I tried to make that clear in my responses that it was your employer. I do strongly recommend using a different email provider for interacting with people outside of your company business. There are many free email providers along with other good subscription based ones. I recommend a subscription based one because then at least the revenue model is known and they have incentive to work for you not them. The free ones make their revenue by selling you as their product. But let me be clear about something that is a very important fact of life on the net. There is no delete button on the Internet! If someone sends a message to a public mailing list it matters not what type of disclaimer they had attached to the message. It is as a practical matter impossible to delete it from all of the archives of the message. People often try. But doing so only calls more attention to it. This is the well known Barbara Streisand effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect John Oliver did an excellent show about this problem as well. Here is a direct link to the the particular part of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-ERajkMXw0&t=4m30s I do find those disclaimers annoying and therefore I poke fun at them by adding back a disclaimer on my messages when I reply. Most people understand the humor of it. One disclaimer begets another disclaimer. I only do this when I am making an actual response to the message. If I have nothing to add then I simply let it go and say nothing. But if I am responding then I will go ahead and poke fun and add back a disclaimer of my own. That is my way of protesting them. Bob
