There has been a lot of hate spewing from these finger tips lately, I'm sorry I've had to vent a few times. So I'm going to try and stay positive this week.
I'm busy reading up on laws regarding privacy in the workplace. I go through our spam box every day to see if any of our clients' emails got mixed in between (I'm not going to explain the spam scoring system at the moment), so I just release the email and add the sender to our whitelist. But yesterday I came across (I still laugh every time I type come/came across, it's the 13yr old trapped inside of me) a mail from an adult swingers site with the persons verification code attached. Note: I'm a member on the site. So why I'm brining this up is because I don't know what to do, do I release the mail and let them continue with the registration or do I report it to their manager? The mail arrived on our servers out of working hrs so the person didn't use company property to sign up and if the person had their own private email address no one would have known.
The issue is, with mails you don't know which laws cover them and when the specific law starts to apply to them. Emails are now considered official company documents (that's why we need to keep all mails for at least 5 yrs) and the email address is technically company property. Legally and morally I don't know what to do.
Any ideas?
