>>there is implicit trust That 'implicit trust' would have to be in writing in policy, or I am not touching it.

As an Mail Administrator/Engineer, whatever you want to call yourself, there is implicit trust that you will not abuse your power to be able to view EVERYONE's email, due to the confidentiality of, oh say, the CEO or CFO. You have the power to view payroll and accounting documents. But as a Mail Administrator, it is a position of high sensitivity. Highly sensitive documents are passed through the mail system. You are expected not to sit down one afternoon and see what your boss or some other manager has been sending emails out about. It may not be written in some companies, but it is written in others. And I learned that the more you stay out of people's business, the more they will trust you not to look at sensitive documents.

Unless he's been told to do it (which it appears he has), he doesn't have some sort of implicit right to do it. He has to be tasked with it.

That mail belongs to the Company, so there shouldn't be anything in there that an enduser would be afraid of someone else seeing. Remember -- the email is on Company's equipment, software, etc. It is THEIRS.

Its bad form, and can get you fired. If you have been told to monitor then just enforce what is normally enforced. Don't ask the end user. They will talk you into an exception, and that one exception will become a chink in your armour that will be used and abused by everyone. I wasn't going to to register my opinion on this one, but I must tell you, taking advice from Hummert is a bad idea. Whatever you do, don't do it because Hummert says so. I (shudder) have seen the places Hummert considers normal and it makes me want to scrub off the top 2 layers of my skin.

Besides the domain name there is other profanity in the newsletter. So do I follow company policy or let it slide? My gut reaction is to ask the person if they are subscribed and then politely ask them to unsubscribe and not have this kind of thing sent to a work address.
