Almost certainly. When you have a LONG blurb like that, and very little 
text, "e.g. if you send a one sentence message to someone with a long 
disclaimer at the end," then to a system like Razor it looks like you 
tacked on some random noise at the head of a bulk message (which is 
actually exactly what you've done, though you didn't think of it that way).

Par the disclaimer WAY down or remove it. I'd suggest something like, 
"This e-mail is from FERRETTI Group, may contain confidential and 
privileged information, and opinions expressed are those of the author." 
All of the rest of the boilerplate is just noise anyway, and doesn't 
serve to actually protect you (as it's not a binding document). By 
reducing its length drastically, you increase the ratio of actual 
message text to boilerplate and increase the accuracy of systems like 
Razor on very short messages.
