No, there's no policy about it because the reality is, as others have
said, that people are often forced to use their corporate mail system
which adds that disclaimer[0], and they have no say in it. Banning them
from the list would add an arbitrary barrier and be quite petty.
Besides, I didn't even notice that disclaimer (years of skipping
practice), yet I _definitely_ noticed this subthread, and spent a lot
longer reading it than I've ever been distracted by a disclaimer.
So yeah, the policy is pretty much 'censor with your eyes'.
Cheers,
Daniel
[0]: Or maybe something like Nokia's, which prepends 'ext' to the name
of every external sender: you'll notice that on the list from time
to time.
