I'm glad to hear there is actually some precedent. As I mentioned to someone privately, I could go ahead and use a @yahoo.com or some other webmail service, but I prefer doing anything work related via email such as this "officially" rather than covertly. I may go ahead and switch at some point, though. Ironic, though, that you're 100% correct- that signature is going to be archived publically, which goes against what it claims. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen J.

I took some counsel on this not so long ago to see whether these were just novelty signatures or if they were real legal stuff. Turns out they could actually be used legally, interesting I thought. Howevers its curious that signatures such as this claiming to be confidential are posted to a list which is very much public and archived in several public websites.. not sure how right it is to autoappend them to all your mails as well as the private ones!

Randy - please stop sending these to me - you send me one every time I post to NANOG. If you don't like the signature that's appended to my emails (not by my choice), and the litigious society we live in, go ahead and block all email from me.
Replies directly to you to stop sending me these emails have gone unanswered, which is why I am mentioning this here.

you have sent a message to me which seems to contain a legal warning on who can read it, or how it may be distributed, or whether it may be archived, etc.
i do not accept such email, and have therefore deleted it. do not expect further response.
