All, I have pretty much been lurking on this list for awhile now. I really respect the Technical opinions that most have offered, Not to mention, the biting sarcasm keeps me in fits of laughter. That Said, I have a client that has asked me a question that I don't Have the legal expertise to answer, and was curious if 1. Any of you have dealt with a similar experience and 2. Could point me to a specific, reference in writing. I was recently approached by my client to get access to one of their employees email. I told them to hold off, I would have to check if I was legally able to do that for them. The equipment is owned by my client. There is Policy in the employee handbook states that Email is for business use only. My client has reason to believe an employee is sending corporate information, (vendor lists and pricing) Offsite to someone outside their company. My client and I both reside in the U.S., in the state of Maryland. Does anyone know what the legal ramifications of viewing/reviewing an employees email are? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
