There is no question of your complicity in the gentleman's firing if you are comfortable that the employer *knew* the offending messages to *not* be spam, and thus out of your purvue completely. If, however, you feel that, acting as a spam expert, you did not adequately represent the extremely high likelihood that pornographic e-mail is unsolicited, or, even worse, gave the reverse impression (i.e., that your filtering service--impossibly!--only allows through porn that was desired by the end user, deleting everything else on arrival), you should try to remedy this misunderstanding immediately. As an immediate band-aid, you may wish to release an "updated end user agreement" that highlights this area, without revealing your direct motivation. I would feel horrible knowing I'd inadvertently helped to frame someone, whether due to ignorance or corruption on the part of their boss; in fact, I would ready myself to defend the individual in court, and lose the client. You have to go deeper on this: it's a question of why/whether this has anything to do with you positively or negatively, since you provide anti-spam software--not employee monitoring/spyware, which is in a sense its direct opposite. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
