You have the right to monitor, but you weren't monitoring in the first place. And thats why Ravi's monitoring and publishing is legal? You sound like the manager on Dilbert. I'll tell you what. I'll do my part. I'll assume I was a recipient of one of Norcals spams (in fact I think I was), and thus being one of the parties whose electronic privacy was violated I can complain about Verio's unauthorized monitoring. I didn't give Verio permission. Norcal didn't give Verio permission. I'll forward the post to norcal and verio's agents, and the US attorney. Thanks. Now maybe we can get a court case on record. --Dean At 11:17 AM 2/2/1999 -0500, Christopher Neill wrote:
Thanx Dean.. actually, we do have the right to monitor traffic on our network, which we werent doing in the first place. What we had was an extended access list that matched tcp port 25 outbound from their /23, and logged that. Since they were using us as a transit provider for their dubious activities we are well withing our rights per our AUP (http://www.qual.net/support/aup.html). But its too late for you to take back your post. Think first.
