Does your company add a disclaimer?

Does your company add a disclaimer to incoming emails? What about outgoing emails?

We're doing both right now, but I'm not sure why we're doing incoming since it seems like most places only do outgoing.

No disclaimer.

The one I used to work for didn't. What sort of disclaimers are we talking about?

I know some companies we dealt with had stuff in the e-mails about "if you are not the intended recipient, delete immediately, etc."

Only outgoing.

We also archive EVERY email sent & received. Terrible waste of resources, IMO.
