Re: Personal Email

["Harris, Michael C." <HarrisMC () HEALTH MISSOURI EDU>]

The item to be avoided is having personal e-mail configured to use the same client as your enterprise e-mail. As an 
example Yahoo or Gmail configured as a pop client in enterprise MS outlook client along with Exchange.   Because of the 
possibility of e-mail infection harvesting up the institution's global address list or even crossing over and 
propagating using the allowances of the internal enterprise exchange system I believe keeping personal e-mail out of 
the enterprise client is probably a defensible statement.  

If they are going to use personal e-mail be sure make them use the web clients for those services.

Actually we have the opposite.  As long as it is not for political, monetary, etc
reasons, personal email is allowed.
