Miscellaneous suggestions that can be taken one at a time or combined: - Have the mail sent to some non-filtered e-mail server like hotmail and then have people poll that server from their normal e-mail client or a different one. - Get the digest version, zip it, then manually distribute to employees periodically. - Automate that process as a programming exercise. - Pay someone to write up that functionality and send digests. - Have someone post digests to an FTP site. - Write code to pre-filter mail for bad words then resend it to your U2 developers. - Read mail through a web interface. - Educate the company IT staff on how to properly filter mail with combinations of keyword black lists and e-mail address white lists. - Get new mail filter software. - Get a new IT staff.
HTH, Tony
