Thank you, that's an excellent point. In your example, however, I would
point-out that your front-office person was someone tasked with
communicating with outside contacts. Also, that their email was still being
monitored.
What if your peon (non front-office person) was subscribed to e-mail notices
from some business (say like a travel/airline company). And they dust off
some old lists and send a note "say, we haven't heard from you in a while,
would you be interested in a good deal on some tickets". Do you want to
spam-learn potentially legitmate messages (the employee did request such
info, so it's not unsolicited-bulk)?
