Except that you wouldn't bar people from taking personal phone calls (for family emergencies, for example), so why bar them from using personal email. If you ban them from using third party providers, then they *will* use their business address for personal matters. If they do that, you can get into real problems - it could then be illegal to transfer an ex-staff member's email to their successor, because you could also be passing personal email in contravention of the data protection act. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
