I agree. Why don't they simply handle the issues as they arise? Obviously,
this person was reported...Our policies here are very strict. We do not allow
anyone to download from the internet and we block all files except files such
as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. If anyone needs anything, they have to call
IT. Eliminates personal use, as well as viruses! At this point, we do not
have any web monitoring software, but I'm sure that'll happen.

Obviously, I have a small group of employees (75) and the maintenance to
assist them...well, let's just say it's worth it to avoid all the baggage
that comes with users having free reign.

I think your company needs to rewrite their handbook.  

Heck, I could just imagine if I was allowed to listen in to my CEO's
phone calls and check his emails.

My company has had problems receitly with inappropriate pictures being 
downloaded and EMAILed to fellow employees and we even had a person that

sent an EMAIL to other employees trying to sell a revolver.  I have been

given the task of researching a content filtering software and what the
law 
says.
I wanted to get opinions from people that have actually been through
this... 
  I am currently running Exchange 5.5, but will be switching to Exchange

2000.

Also, one of our HR people says that filtering software is not enough;
they 
want me to set it up so that all EMAIL can be read by them (which I
believe 
is wrong).  Our company handbook states that "Employees have no right of

privacy for any phone calls, EMAILs or Internet access that are done on 
company time or with company equipment."  During this meeting, all I
could 
think of was the Mccarthism in the '40s.

I really need your input.

Thanks-

Susan
