Do you have the request come by written or verbal? I never thought about these consequences and now am wondering if I should ask for a written request. I talked to HR and asked them to find out what I need to do.

Every case I've ever heard of has been decided that a company has the right to look at emails on its own system. If there is a corporate policy in place which explicitly states that there is no right to privacy, then you're pretty much good to go. I didn't say I agree that this is how it should be. I joined the EFF within days of Kapor and Barlow founding it - but that is how the US law is right now. For more details: www.eff.org (The original - accept no substitutes) http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs7-work.htm (a nice fact sheet on Workplace Monitoring) In my company - a Fortune 500 company - messaging admins go into people's mailboxes if there is a valid business need to do so, but we don't ever do so unless we have a business reason, for example, fixing a rule, checking on a suspicious attachment, etc. All requests by managers for monitoring of employees, we require that they come from HR through the Director of IT down to our group. In addition, Union Contracts can give specific protection to union employees, although our union employees have no such additional protection. The point is, you want to make certain you have well-documented procedures in place, so that you can CYA against attorneys or managers who want you to take the blame. None the less, the current state of US law is that email in the workplace is owned by and may be reviewed by the employer.

I will make sure that I get it in writing to do that. I didn't of it as being against the law as the Company owns the email system. But besides that, Is there a way to do it?

Best practice is get advice from counsel. Don't do it without something in writing.

I certainly don't agree with it, but my understanding is that current case law (at least in my state) actually supports that if it is a business account the business is who owns it. -----Original Message----- From: Damien D Keffyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 2:00 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Tracking an Email Message I agree this could turn nasty on you, dont do it, make sure you have it in writing and signed by the management first before you even attempt this. Trust me when it goes down and you dont have it in writing they will take you with them. After all you are the tech that "advised" them this was possible, at least that is the way it will sound when they get dragged through court. It is a criminal offence to read someone elses email without thier consent, or a warrant. -- Regards */Damien D Keffyn/* Senior I.T.
