Although redirecting the user's outgoing mail to your security department would work for Outlook, you should also consider that the user may use webmail on a service such as Yahoo!, or they may use an instant messaging application. You should consider these as security violations as well. If you're logging the user's e-mail in an attempt to gather evidence of NDA violations, you might consider a keylogger or similar application to catch all the activity on the computer. -- Kryptos kryptos () phreaker net 925.955.8110 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cesar Diaz" <cesadiz () yahoo com> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 7:48 AM Subject: Block a user's outgoing email : : : I have situation where I want a user to be able to receive emails, but not : to send them.
