RE: Steph's question about interpath
This is all RE: ISP's having the ability to access backed-up mail
spools, etc.
I dropped mail to a friend who works tech support at Interpath.
Here's his response to it... he says they've never had that question
officially raised.
Go past the sig for the response.

Subject: Re: discipline and punishment on the Net (fwd)
well to the best of my knowledge we have never had someone show up
with a warrant asking for the mail. As a matter of privacy we don't look
at people's mail. we keep mail spools, and can only handle the entire
spool when doing things such as mail spools. Technically writing a script
to parse headers to handle individual mail messages is invasion of
privacy, even though no human eyes have looked at it. Though i assume that
if the police showed up with a warrant we would give them the mail spool,
we wouldn't do anything else with it short of that.
it has caused much grief to some of our users, upon recieving 50 meg
attachments that we won't delete the attachment, angry that we cant get
rid of just that mail message and leave the other ones intact.
