Hi folks, I don't know if I missed any discussion on this, but I thought I'd post this out of interest:
http://www.privacyinternational.org/survey/phr2003/countries/switzerland.htm paragraph 7: The new law also provides for the surveillance of e-mails, which are treated as every other telecommunication. Swiss Internet service providers (ISPs) are now required to keep a six-month log of all e-mails sent by their customers. These providers must log customer activity, including connection times, e-mails sent, addresses and senders, but not the content of the e-mails. Many ISPs will thus have to create the respective interfaces to make surveillance possible. However, legal authorities will only be able to access this data as necessary for an ongoing investigation into suspected criminal activity. To access the provider's electronic log, an investigating judge must issue a search warrant, and in some cases, the suspects will have to be informed of the proceedings.
