The reasoning behind the policy is simple. With limited resources, (both
financially and manpower) we had to restrict what services we could
provide to non-college owned equipment.  

If a user wants to forward their mail to some outside service that then
forwards it on to their Blackberry, or to their home email accounts,
there is nothing we can do to stop them.  However, we won't support them
either if it breaks either.

And what is to stop one from forwarding from one's college email account
to the personal one one uses on their personal Blackberry?

Not to pick a fight, but just sayin' if you invite people to work around
your policies, they will do things and not tell you.
