RE: [cobalt-users] Schedule/Planner

["Norman Reid" <nreid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Basically it is to do with a meeting we had with FAST which also covered
various aspects of Email & Internet use which suggest that the
disclaimers (such as the one at the foot of my emails) would probably
not hold up in a court of law. As such they suggest that best practice
would be to monitor a percentage of outgoing emails to show that at
least you are making the effort to ensure that no laws are being broken
by employees via email. It may well be just scaremongering by FAST by
its not something I can really just ignore.

It is all a bit flaky legally at the moment with Email legislation. 

I haven't decided to implement anything other than the disclaimers and
Acceptable Use Policies but I was just wanting to get some options to
see how feasible any more detailed solutions may be.

There is a *nix apps that can do that.  It's not free.  Sorry, I don't
remember the url.  A web search should bring it up.

Sendmail 8.11.x can be compiled with MILTER support and a Milter filter
to do that.  There is a Milter filter example to capture email to a
file. There are also some hacks for Sendmail 8.9.3 which can be used to
Cc outgoing mail to a mailbox for monitoring.

It's funny that you ask such a question when you have "This email is
confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom
it is addressed.". :)
