Not unethical or compromising private data. If the information can be
sniffed unencrypted on the wire it is already compromised. Most email
administrators already have access to mail stores where the same data
is stored unencrypted. A company's mail server and storage is not for
personal use and anyone sending e-mail they want to be private should
not use public/unecrypted methods.
That is an unwarranted assumption. If the OP provides email hosting,
then he is certainly bound by fairly strict privacy laws.
Nothing in the above suggests this is solely for professional use.
You are correct and should have keep my point more narrow in purpose.
But I meant to express something similar to... BCC'ing is not unethical
unless you read all the mail. I could easily BCC all the users mail and
simply maintain a copy. It is the same as having root access to the mail
store which I think the OP does.
