    Although redirecting the user's outgoing mail to your security department
    would work for Outlook, you should also consider that the user may use
    webmail on a service such as Yahoo!, or they may use an instant messaging
    application. You should consider these as security violations as well. If
    you're logging the user's e-mail in an attempt to gather evidence of NDA
    violations, you might consider a keylogger or similar application to catch
    all the activity on the computer.

    Subject: Block a user's outgoing email
    :
    :
    : I have situation where I want a user to be able to receive emails, but not
    : to send them.    We run Exchange 5.5 and the clients use Outlook 2000.
    : This particular user is remote, so they connect through a Contivity VPN
    : client to our network.
    :
    : I don't want the user to know that outgoing emails are being blocked and
    : we want to be able to read them for secuirity policy violations.
    :
    : Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
