YEA! I'll have company! Welcome to the pit, Gulthek... you'll find, down here, we may not remember what we did yesterday, but we can understand it if needed.
It is not a case of "Firing employees randomly" when there is a clear, written policy, but I understand what you're getting at -- authoritarian mgmt isn't the best sol'n in the long run.
A better path is a 1-2-3 style -- verbal, written, termination -- with probationary periods between. The key difference is the objective -- education vs simple weeding. By educating the offender you have the opportunity to bring the goofer-upper to an understanding of the why behind the policy. You can nurture a basic, but through, understanding and practice of info security.
hmmm... what am I thinking? This is the modern world -- thinking long term isn't just out, it's wrong... ah, eph'it, I'll still do things this way.
So technically I violated privacy, but if you complained about an email problem,...
There once was a time when one was expected to troubleshoot an mbox thusly: sed -n '/^From/,/^$/p' > some_mbox | less By taking care to not expose yourself to the message body, you can avoid many problems. When working w/ DBs, stick to the metadata--stay out of the meaty bits (unless absolutely necessary). If you work with Export Controlled, ITAR covered or similar data where leakage or exposure must be recorded, you will want to minimize your exposure. You may become liable for unrecorded exposures or leaks.
This is a good general admin habit. Show some pride and care in your craft.
Years ago at a small ISP small servers the bounce traffic would clog the mail queues. I added milters from snert.com. Anthony Howe's milter-sender package reduced the mail accept rate to roughly 25% of the pre-filtered levels. It is still in use on one of the mail domains that remains from those days. Today it often rejects 80+% of the incoming mail connections (mostly bot-spam). This means far less mail for your content filter (dspam, SpamAssassin, etc) to slog through. How that? What's it doing?
Milter-sender uses a number of techniques:
call-back test of sending server (is it really a mailserver?)
valid RCPT address check
built in greylisting
white/black lists
...more and features all adjustable
...but the main thing is the mail connection is vetted prior to start of the DATA section--rejects are dropped, no bounce backscatter, just a 4xx or 5xx DSN. Legitimate sender's still get a useful bounce message.
Some of the SnertSoft milters are free, but the king-pin milter-sender, is a commercial product under a derivative BSDish license. Still, well worth the price.
Yes!, indeed, hear-hear, all that and where's my mod points when i want them.. It's a bit of the old "think global, act local". For years i've challenged those that whine about WalMart with "do you shop there? then don't, if that's what you feel...". Ant power.
The collective behavior of the populace is mighty. A reread of the recent post on swarm behavior might be instructive for some.

Twenty odd years ago in a el-mech development lab, I accidentally had a set of magnetic fingers... I was attaching some rare earth magnets to a prototype device. As the substrate was non-magnetic, I was using a sample of PermaBond/LocTite's replacement for Eastman 910--super glue. Well, super glue being super glue, it never seems to stick parts to parts, it just sticks the parts to your fingers... lil' magnets on two left fingers. shyt. then my thermostatic Weller solder iron clicks on-- ewoo, interesting.
Try it at home with a few bits of old hard drive magnets.
At least these attacks do require user interaction
Depends on your definition of 'user interaction'. You must mean "just use the desktop"--the oh so helpful indexing utilites and file browsers will fire the exploit while creating those wonderful winking, blinking thumbnails.
and there is workaround that's usually effective.
Unfortunately, Ilfak's patch is, in a real sense, a non-starter. The average Grandma or SoccerMom is going to twiddle in DLL-land?!?
hasn't been a successful one of these yet... Maybe you haven't, but ISPs with user shell accounts have seen successful ssh brute-force logins. It pays to cross-reference recent logins with syslog AUTH chatter;-)
Many dialup ISPs offer mailbox only service. This is an option for those wanting to keep an old address and migrate to a new service provider. You can have more than one POP account. ; )
You need to ask, because a dialup provider isn't going to go out of their way to push their customers to broadband... They don't say "Hey, keep your mailbox, we make it easy for you to go & pay your bucks to RR/SBC/ZoomThing..." Like I said, you need to ask.
...Additional Data Transfer (Billed Automatically)
Unfortunately that appears to be the case. This morning I received a frustrated reply from Mr Burgess to a short complimentary email I sent last night. Quoting:
...exceeding bandwidth and running up the bill for a person with a personal web site. I have maintained a web site to share my hobby with others....is now costing me in excess of several thousand dollars.
This is not good, guys. Not good at all.
Granted, we know that bandwidth can be throttled or connections suspended when certain thresholds are reached--we should know that's our bailiwik--but most folks don't. Sorry, but "tough luck" does not reflect well on the community.
good amps, and good speakers, there's no doubt that the efficency of the system is going to be very high,
In tweak gear--esp. speakers--efficency is lower. This is due to optimizations to gain linearity. Practical electro-magnetic systems are dreadfully nonlinear; to flatten the curves, power is wasted. what it is.

Nope, no can do. Your decision, Judge, is final. Mouse soberly; choose wisely,
feh, nihilism. Allow for a positive swarm.

If, long ago, dereg was done differently, many of today's service deployment problems would not exist.
The division should have simply been made on the service: You can sell/maintain either pipes or content, not both.
