Based on a some I have received off list it seems no-one has ever heard of such a proposal that has had any serious traction so I assume the gentleman was either mistaken, paranoid, or trying to pull a joke on me. Thank you for the responses everyone. You can now get back to your regularly scheduled regulatory headaches. __________________________ Eric Esslinger Information Services Manager - Fayetteville Public Utilities http://www.fpu-tn.com/ (931)433-1522 ext 165

Hope yall had an 'eventless' holiday. (I.e. no pages at 2 am on a holiday morning). Sorry to drop what is possibly just someone misunderstanding something or pulling my leg on the list, but over the holidays I ran into one of my buddies that is also a network admin type and he was griping about mail journalling, which I already do for our corporate email accounts. However, his discussion was in terms of all customer email... Which I said was probably a bad thing to do. His response was there is legislation being pushed in both House and Senate that would require journalling for 2 or 5 years, all mail passing through all of your mail servers. I've seen nothing, and my google fu has turned up nothing other than corporate requirements, so I ask here. Has anyone heard of such a bill working it's way through either side of congress? (I am speaking specifically of full email journaling, not just logs, which I do archive for significant amounts of time.) I also don't want to discuss the pros, cons, merits, costs, goods, or evils of such a requirement, just wanted to know if this is something I should be looking forward towards maybe needing to implement. Thanks for your attention and may you have a low incident new year. __________________________ Eric Esslinger Information Services Manager - Fayetteville Public Utilities http://www.fpu-tn.com/ (931)433-1522 ext 165 This message may contain confidential and/or proprietary information and is intended for the person/entity to whom it was originally addressed.
