I've actually had a similar thing happen to me, but it had to do with a
lawsuit the company was involved in. I didn't really have to think to hard
about it because the way I look at it is that my job is to protect the best
interest of the company I work for. I passed it along to the boss and it
probably ended up contributing to this person losing his job (he was
released a couple of
months after the incident).
But as the sys admin and a "company guy" (I HATE that term, but sometimes it
does apply)
I had to do what was right for my company.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Ro

Subject: [IMail Forum] A tricky moral problem
Hi all,
A little of topic, but relevant to mail admin duties.
What would anyone here do if you came across a mail sent from one staff
member to another through the company mail server which was basically
libelous and potentially damaging to the company if the attitudes and
sentiments in the mail were actually applied to someones working methods.
Would you pass it on to the powers that be? Any suggestions on how to handle
it if you passed it on and the Boss went balistic and wanted the 2 parties
in his office now for 'meeting'.
A tricky one and I am fighting myself over turning the mail over to the boss
as if the company has difficulties (which having read what these 2 are
saying we could have) then I have a hell of a lot to loose, and just keeping
my mouth shut and pretending I missed it in the random dip into the inbox.
We officially keep copies of all mail so there is a backup copy,
unofficially, the powers that be want to catch this sort of thing.
Any advice - please!
Dan
