Thank you Martin for clarifying what I meant. The other day was a real rush and the message got sent before it was complete.
Patrick, This is an area where you really need to CYA. The privacy laws in some areas of the world are MUCH stricter than in others. Consider: Boss B asks to see Boss A's mail. Both Boss A and B and higher up the food chain than you, but Boss A is higher than B, but not THE BOSS. What do you do? You can fall back to your policy and get it in writing from HR. If they can't get it from HR then your covered in telling them no. There are a many situations to consider. Or you could just let any boss who asks read anyones email for any reason, real or imagined.

Getting it in writing from HR takes the potential for issues off of you. As an example where I work if there is a request by a manager or another employee to read ones email, it must be signed off on by the CEO and then HR. I made that policy as like I said, it isn't mine or a managers decision on who's email gets read. There needs to be a paper trail. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Scribner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 9:19 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: auto BCC'ing all messages Why do you consider it dangerous? This is company hardware, company software and when your hired it's made clear to not use this for personal use. I don't believe there are any legal or ethical problems with reading anyone's e-mail if it originates on my server.

I would not comply without a written request from HR. It would be good to set up a specific policy for future requests like this. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Scribner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 3:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: auto BCC'ing all messages Has anyone had a request to automatically BCC all messages being sent out of a mailbox also be sent to another user? for example Joe smith is suspected of wrongdoing. His boss Bob doesn't know for sure. So Bob requests that all e-mail's Joe sends also be sent to him. Is this possible?
