Except that's the wrong liability. The sender would ultimately be liable. If, for example, I send a "private" (person-to-person, or point-to-point) e-Mail with confidential data to IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu instead of to you specifically, and that mail contains contract rates or specific internal security information about you/your company, and a couple of IBM-MAIN listers forward that message on to TMZ or TheSmokingGun.com, THEY don't hold any liability for the information ending up on Drudge. I, however, would be on an unemployment line faster than you can say "bortaS ChoQ", my boss would be throwing veQ at me, and I'd end up performing the Hegh'bat so I could end up in the Black Fleet.
I'm unaware of any legal case where a message recipient/resender was held liable for unintentional receipt/forwarding of a message. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 23:52 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Disclaimers >if worded correctly, so that a message cannot be used as a legally binding >agreement (and believe me, it's been tried) which can come back to bite the >sender in the bee-hind. My issue was never that. It's the implied liability of the recipient. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
