EMAIL SECURITY POLICY

Purpose: To establish rules governing the use of the corporate email system.

Scope
This policy applies to all _COMPANY employees and to all email messages received 
or sent by the corporate email system, regardless of the device used to send or 
receive the messages.

Policy
This policy defines the rules governing _COMPANY's e-mail system.

1. All electronic mail is _COMPANY property. Because the _COMPANY electronic 
   mail system is intended to be used for business purposes, _COMPANY places 
   more importance on the ability to monitor electronic mail than on the rights 
   of workers to communicate privately. Therefore, electronic mail messages 
   flowing through _COMPANY systems may be monitored for internal policy 
   compliance, suspected criminal activity, or other non-essential, 
   non-business activity.

2. Electronic communications can be monitored without prior consent. _COMPANY 
   reserves the right to access and disclose all messages sent over its 
   electronic mail system, for any purpose.

3. All files attached to incoming and outgoing e-mail messages will be scanned 
   for viruses. To protect _COMPANY systems from malicious code, all incoming 
   and outgoing email messages and attachments will be scanned for viruses. 
   Any attachments found to contain malicious code will be quarantined and 
   not delivered.

4. _COMPANY may disclose electronic mail messages to law enforcement officials 
   without notice to messaging system users.

5. Using email for illegal, offensive, or harassing communications is prohibited. 
   Corporate email may not be used in a manner that is unprofessional or 
   unethical or in any way compromises _COMPANY or its business reputation.
