Common corporate policy is that the email system is not private, and that it
may be monitored from time to time. There is also typically a policy of what
is ok and not.
Typical ISP policy is similar in that it states the system has no provisions
for private email, and any data passing through the system may be monitored
from time to time in the course of normal operations and maintenance.
Hope this helps,

|
|
| 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
