<quote who="James Purser"> > Welcome to the corporate world.
As someone who has done quite a bit of corporate world email infrastructure work, your welcome is somewhat behind time. It is certainly not the general case in Australia that these features are desireable. Content filtering for web, and all kinds of spam/virus/spyware is par for the course, and there's growing interest in *outbound* email content filtering (usually an issue of IP protection), but legal incentives for *inbound* content filtering do not exist here in the same fashion as with the USA. In my experience, clients have consistently weighed quality of service over basic content filtering, mostly because there is little incentive to do this kind of filtering in the first place. What I was interested in (more than random generalisation about the desires of corporates) was some informed commentary on the incentives and rationale behind doing implementing this kind of content filtering (from the starting point that *some* sectors have an obvious legal requirement for it, but not all). - Jeff -- Open CeBIT 2007: Sydney, Australia http://www.opencebit.com.au/ "It is said that there are only six jokes in the world, and I can assure you that we can only broadcast three of them..." - John Watt, the BBC's Head of Variety in the 30's -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
