Hi Slugs,

Not exactly Linux questions but I've been asked by management to allow 
them to seretly read users emails and a few questions are poping up.

What is the legal position on the ownership of emails between members of 
the company and betwen members and those outside the company?
If such emails are owned by the company is management entitled to read 
users emails at their discression?
If emails are owned by the company may management monitor users emials 
in real time, without prior warning from management?
If individuals of the compamy have not been appraised of the policy, 
what is their legal standing in the company if they have not been 
appraised of the policy?

etc. you get the drift. Any comments from the many sysadmins here?
Ben

Ben,

I would have a look at the act covering surveilance in the work place, that 
may give you some guidance. You'll have to google for it though.

Cheers,

Nick.
