    hi list,

    anybody blocking or having a security policy that
    disallow users from using freemail (yahoo, hotmail,
    etc)?

    what are security threat that freemail poses to
    corporate network?

    One threat is that users will be able to download
    malicious files, bypassing security measure at a mail
    gateway. Any more ideas?
