Surely any business operating an email system does so for the benefit of the company/enterprise etc. If individuals want to receive emails that don't match that policy then they need to have a personal account that allows them to do so. Which brings us back to advice offered for example to people in Frank's position that they get the mail from this list directed to a hotmail etc account or run their own server where they can set policy for themselves.
It may be that Frank's employer also prohibits the use of hotmail type accounts. I've seen company policies that state employees may not operate web based email accounts, and all email must be through the company email address / server - primarily to control virus traffic etc and probably secondarily to control / measure / minimise time spent on "non-work" issues. Frank may be between a rock and a hard place and I'm sure he's capable of assessing the practicality and legitimacy of running a web based email from his work. Keith Davidson
