Two names...
Sarbanes and Oxley. I don't know you, you don't need that access, we have a process in place and I am not signing off on you. Follow the procedure or go somewhere else to work.

Forget the BSA ...
If the company is publicly traded, you only need two words: Sarbanes-Oxley .

Re:Silly Rabbits, its too late
Although an employer sometimes can go through the emails on your harddrive, I think what the people in this article don't realize is that it sounds like emails are being intercepted at the server level.
And people should realize that due to new regulatory reasons like Sorbanes-Oxley companies are required by law to perform this.
In order that they don't get sued they need to treat e-mail as corporate records. So getting caught doing something like this is even more likely as companies make sure they can comply with that law.

Re:Not surprised
IBM has document retention policies specifically to limit liabilities. Or more like document destruction policies. All emails have to be wiped after two years. They probably truly don't have the code anymore.
I wonder if/how the Sarbanes-Oxley act will impact that IBM policy?

Re:This is not a solution.
As recommended by others I suggest you setup SMTP with Auth. Then you tell your users that you "recommend" they use this SMTP server because some companies like microsoft may block emails if they don't come from this authorized mail server. Just make it clear that they *can* send mail safely via your SMTP server and that if they use a local SMTP server then mail might be blocked and you can't do anything about it...
Depending on what industry you work in... Sarbanes-Oxley might apply where all e-mail *has* to be routed through a controlled point and archived for legal reasons.
