> No, it's not legally binding. Agreements are only binding if both parties agree, and someone sending you email has not consented to your statement.

Just because Acme Corp. attaches a disclaimer doesn't mean they've absolved themselves of responsibility for the actions of their employees. Second, they're insulting to the employees. It's a big red flag saying, "We, Acme Corp., hire clowns we don't trust, and THIS person may be one of them!"
