I agree with almost everything you said, but there is one point I question. It is my understanding that I have an absolute right to block mail espousing causes I disagree with on my private property (e.g. my mail server). I am not the government, you have no "First Amendment" rights with me. Of course, IANAL, so I could be wrong.
Read the Electronic Communications and Privacy Act also known as the ECPA before messing around with email. You do have some obligations to your customers by running a mail server and it is important that your NOC staff is aware of what they can and cannot do. The ECPA is posted in several places on the web and is not that long so it is worth reading it yourself. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael () memra com
