Re: Outbound email privacy filtering

[Zach Jansen <zjanse20 () CALVIN EDU>]

I tested those filters when we got our outbound spam filter, also a Barracuda. I have found them to be pretty helpful 
in catching accidental leakages and am happy to have them as another layer. Privacy related filters are pretty noisy 
and generate a lot of quarantine emails or falsely rejected messages, so if you don't ultimately care about the 
criteria in a particular filter, I'd recommend just not turning them on. 

Feel free to email me off list if you have more questions.
