A note on the legal side of the monitoring ... all employees know that the
mail is monitored and have signed computer use forms to this extent. It is
done not necessarily to police our employees but rather to maintain security
and protect our system. For example, in the past, spammers found our system
and used it as a relay. This problem has been resolved and countermeasures
were put in place, but monitoring all messages is a VERY easy to spot a
misuse of this magnitude.

One of the sendmail folks should definitely give this guy the technical
answer, but I also wanted to pipe up and mention that the original poster
should *definitely* check with his legal department and make sure that the
company is not violating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act by
doing this. It *is* possible to monitor without being in violation, but
there are standards to be met.

Remember: lawsuits suck.
