No legal force (so no 1M USD :-) ) but if you're caught not enforcing 
these disclaimers (even at the bottom of the signature, so leaving the 
user the choice to use it or not) in your corporate emails, you're fined 
(and in some cases, also fired).

Are you sure? Imagine you are the DBA in your company and you need to 
ask a question to PostgreSQL mailing list
I think it's perfectly legit that you do it from your corporate email, 
and not from your private one (since private email address use is not 
admitted, just like private messages from corporate email).
I have my disclaimer at the bottom of my signature, so I can choose when 
to add it or not, it's my company policy; someone else's policy should 
be that the corporate mail server automatically appends the disclaimer 
to every mail message (so no user control).
I agree with Tom to just ignore disclaimers and delete them when 
replying to threads: you can't blame someone for what's not under his 
control.


Obvoiusly you have to be careful to not include sensitive data in your 
public email, but that's always under your control.
