RE: [PLUG] Really Cheesy....but...
|
The guy is using company equipment and company resources. He signed the
policy manual. There's little issue there. E-mail using company resources
is company property. I may just have to do it for all employees and purge
after a specified time period.
Now, what will be interesting is the upcoming court battle on whether
reading someone's e-mail without a warrant violates wire-tapping law. This
is currently being reviewed by the PA courts. If they rule negatively
towards the reading of e-mail without a warrant, then what we propose will
be illegal. Until then, to my understanding, it is not provided all parties
are aware of the company policy.

Regardless of your company's policy, I hope your lawyers are good. Saving
someone's incoming and outgoing email is a pretty high breach of privacy in
my book, and possibly illegal. Incoming is extremely easy, just add a
procmail recipe that greps for that person's email and saves it to a file.
See "man procmailex" for some examples. Of course, if they do something as
simple as use a hotmail account, then you've already lost the battle. :)
Or use GnuPG. Alsom, if the messages are not digitally signed, he or she
can alays deny that they wrote or received the emails. :)
