thank you for that bit of advice. but i guess security policies are something very personal to a company. will pentagon trust all its employees? i am sure, they still would be having lots of restrictions. so, lets not question the policy of a company. we have to do the job in hand, and thats what earns out bread. correct me if i am wrong.
as far as floppies are concerned. the terminals dont have a floppy drive. and the files that we are trying to keep secure, are big ones, not a few pages long. so the printer will also not be helpful. if the person is a genius in memorising all that, then so be it. my firewall cannot block that ;-) i was just requesting a solution man.

If your employer does not trust their | employees, maybe they should consider hiring employees that they /can/ | trust. And you and other employees should consider moving to an | employer who treats you more like assets than liabilities. If there are | a million ways of preventing users from taking information out of the | company, there are a million and ten ways of doing it. You can never | block every avenue out. What about people copying the so called | sensitive information into floppy disks and taking them outside? Or | does your employer strip search everyone on your way from work? In | which case, who strip searches the strip searcher? | | That being said, look into /etc/postfix/transport and read the man page | or docs that come with postfix about the transport map. Also look for a | new, more rewarding job. | | This is one way of doing what you want. There might be other ways too. | | Thaths | | -- | "Homer, your theory of a donut-shaped universe is intriguing." | -- Stephen Hawking | thaths at aunet.org Slacker At Large http://www.aunet.org/~thaths/ | Key fingerprint = 8A 84 2E 67 10 9A 64 03 24 38 B6 AB 1B 6E 8C E4 | | | _______________________________________________________________ | | Have big pipes?
