GW email content monitoring?

[MarkRCC]

Hi.

We're running GW6 w/current SP in a NW 5 environment. Workstations are primarily Win98 and Win2K Pro.

My question concerns a question posed to me by my Exec. Dir.
She wanted to know if it were possible to not just monitor incoming/outgoing email by sender, subject, etc but to also intercept emails and monitor content if necessary. This question caught me by surprise since there hasn't been any real problems in the past, but I think she just wanted to know if we were able to do it.

I know that GW itself doesn't allow it (actually you can if you change a password--set a rule on the "suspects" computer to forward all emails to another account - blah blah).

Is there a 3rd party product or is GW planning on creating a gateway, etc that will allow it?

TIA for any all information.

Mark

Trend Interscan 3 can monitor e mail content on groupwise

There is contect filtering but only in the sense if it has a blocked word the mail won't go. I came across a company that created an api gateway that received mail from the gwia, put a copy of it in an archive, then let it through. They had an additional app that could read the archive based on passwords and who can see what in it. Problem being can't remember the name of the company. It wasn't a product for sale they just created it for themselves.

Check with the lawyers first, not sure how companys stand in intercepting mail, there used to be a problem but it may have gone by now.

Good luck. Lee Smith
