As a past IT person myself, let me give you some info that might aid you in your decision....

I don't know about anywhere else, but here in Canada what is in a person's email is confidential and can only be opened by technical personnel with permission from that person's superior. (doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just means that if you find something you can't do anything with it unless you were under orders).

Same thing applies to files on a users personal network drive. Even if the network admin found loads of porn up there, they can't say or do anything about it unless the person's superior has given permission to view the directories.

Sooooo... what do you do? Well, if she's been sending out crap and smut email to a lot of people, see if you can get one of these people to report her to her boss, and then he/she would probably give permission for you to be in those emails... then when it happens, you can approach your friend and say, "I came across these while I was doing a check of so and so's email for her boss, and I just wanted to ask you about it." This way, you don't look like a spy, and can't be fired for reading confidential information... and you can approach your friend with your concerns without having to admit you were spying...

that's why i encrypt all my emails and use web interface only

not traceable not retrievable

Personal email, yes.

But I think he's talking about the company's email system?

i know what he's talking about

but if he's smart he'd know if he used company's email there will be records

using web mail would be the way to go

if you fear your boss is spying on you, use hushmail which encrypt your connection all the way

that's what i would be if i were in his pants (errr bad metaphor

)

here, EVERY user must sign an internet and email "acceptable use" policy (which i created). They understand that their emails are subject to review at any given time, and that all emails are owned by the company - not the sender/receiver. i do not need permission from supervisors, it is my responsibility to maintain. granted, i cannot fire someone cause i busted them, but i can report what i've found to their supervisor.

one guy last year actually was fired, for browsing the internet all day. i first told his superior (after months of blatent usage), who asked him to stop. he continued to be dumb about it - so he lost his job.

you haft to be kidding about the network drive thing! if i find porn on a network drive, you're done! there is no personal privacy on a company owned network!

I assume this is at a work place. All e-mail conducted at work should not be assumed as 100% private. Everyone "knows that". Tell your friend that (written in the company's rules somewhere).

Since you are the Network Admin. , you do have access to the computer network, which involves seeing e-mail at times, especially when trouble shooting.

Being that this person is your friend, you should have no problem making mention of it. If it were me. I'd tell him about it, but advise him to do that e-mailing elsewhere, not on company time. I'd leave it at that. If he does it again, that is his own fault if he gets "caught". I am not sure what your job consists of, such as busting people and "telling" on them? I don't know. As always, his wife will find out.
