At least the ordinary English meaning of parts of that act prohibit 'intercepting' electronic mail, and define intercepting as to include deleting. I am not aware of a court test yet of the exact interpretation of this, but I am aware that it is the main reason that Postini, Brightmail, etc all 'quarantine' rather than deleting suspicious email including virus infected mail that has no plaintext content. > > Larry Seltzer > eWEEK.com Security Center Editor > http://security.eweek.com/ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
