e-mail security within the company

By definition, Lotus Admins can see everything. Thats why you want only the most trustworthy people to be admins.

If you have separate mail and applications servers its a little easier in that you can restrict your admins to "their" own servers, and lower the number of admins who can access mail. But in the end someone has to be able to administer a mail server and they need full access to do the job. That gives them the ability to look at mail.

In our company we use Exchange and use Entrust to encrypt anything that is sensitive.
