I am not the OP, but: sometimes there are internal investigations. you need the emails to see whether people are, e.g., leaking proprietary information to competitors, etc. if you start copying emails only after the horse has left the barn, you're less likely to find anything. if you want to pro-actively copy emails for future internal investigations you need to copy everyone's emails since you don't know the future. there may be regulatory requirements regarding record keeping (e.g., the U.S. White House is in trouble about this because [probably on purpose to hide evidence of wrongdoing, but possibly also just incompetence] emails regarding scandals are not available despite legislation requiring that all emails on official business be backed up and never destroyed [because of Iran-Contra]). in the U.S., they have sarbanes-oxley which (i think) requires keeping emails. generally, i think it's a prudent thing for any corporation to do anyway. naturally, employees might be against it, but then if they don't want to be tracked that way, they shouldn't use corporate email accounts that go through the corporations SMTP server for anything they don't want the company to know about. geeks can encrypt their emails or use web based email (if not blocked at work, else use personal email addresses at home) if they don't like this policy. tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
