Here, I've taken the liberty of forwarding this possibly
PRIVILEGED or CONFIDENTIAL information on to SDMC's postmaster,
so that they can correct the issue.

They might want to talk to a lawyer about the usefulness of
standardized email disclaimers;

http://www.rhlaw.com/blog/legal-effect-of-boilerplate-email-disclaimers/

contains some useful discussion.

Relevant advice: if you put it on every email message without
discrimination, it's probably meaningless. If you put it at the
bottom instead of at the top, it's particularly ineffective.

At least he didn't top post.
