Well, personally I don't think it would be a good idea to do what redhat has done, but if Gerald decides to change the 
post policy to bounce all e-mails with such notices and disclaimers appended to them, then so be it.  

Other than that, this topic has already been discussed in the past (follow this thread if you really care: 
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200409/msg00231.html), so nearly 6 years later, I don't really care to spend 
any more of my time on it.

I guess you are unaware that many companies (such as the one I work for) have a policy in place on their mail servers 
whereby the various notices, disclaimers, etc. are automatically appended to any outgoing mail.  My company has been 
doing this at least as far back as 2004 (http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200407/msg00427.html).  At the 
time, I even contacted our IT group to ask that the disclaimers be removed from outgoing e-mails, particularly when 
they are being sent to open-source mailing lists such as this one.  But as you can tell by the annoying disclaimer 
that will inevitably be appended to this e-mail, I was unsuccessful.  As stupid as they are, these disclaimers are 
not likely to go away IMO.
 
Piece of advice from http://www.cygwin.com/ml/#disclaimer-bounce might help.

If your company servers automatically add it, either persuade your
sysadmins to turn it off for the lists, post from home, or use a free
web-based e-mail service. There's enough of them out there.
