The Department of Justice URL for the Privacy Act of 1974 as Amended is
http://www.usdoj.gov/foia/privstat.htm . Another very good resource to
keep a person's backside out of trouble is "Cyber Crime Investigator's
Field Guide" by Bruce Middleton. Another thought is the "Electronic
Communications Privacy Act" along with possible violation of First
Amendment Rights. Look up on google.com. Now with that said, did the
target sign any type of auditing authorization when he/she was first
employed? There may be a loophole with that, but it would normally be
used in conjunction with a court order - actually getting a court order.
Whatever you might do, do not necessarily accept 100% of any on-line
legal guidance. I am NOT providing any type of legal guidance. Always,
always, check with a qualified attorney or corporate legal counsel
before committing to anything. To provide initial guidance for your
employer the mentioned items should help.

Thank you,

Any idea where I can read the Privacy Act and obtain a copy for my
client?

That being said, is there any way to do what they want to do?

The best answer is to get a good attorney and a court order for anywhere
in the United States, or lots of money for the law suit. The Privacy Act
has you on this one. Email is considered the same as personal snail mail
and cannot be opened without a court order.

Greetings list:

I am looking for a way to monitor a particular user's e-mail for legal
purposes.

What they want to do is have all outgoing mail from this user to be
routed to a manager for approval before being sent.

Of course, they want to do this without that particular user knowing it
is happening, and without buying anything new.

They currently are using Exchange 2000 and Outlook 2002 for their e-mail
system.

Any suggestions?  I thought that I had read something in this list some
time ago.

Ted
