We have a relatively new employee (manager) here who has recieved two or three pornagraphic spam e-mails in her inbox.
She has sent an e-mail to upper management stating
“This is now border line harassing! Some employees would consider this
sexual harassment.”
We are doing what we can with our limited resources right now. We don’t host our own e-mail servers, therefore rely mostly on the ISP’s to filter to most obvious spam. To make matters worse we are using Outlook Express for now and rely heavily on e-mail for customer orders — therefore we can’t risk false positives in filtering spam. It’s never been much of a problem before — just a slight nuisance.
Nobody likes to get spam – I especially dislike pornagraphics spam. My qestion is: can the company be held liable for unsolicited e-mails in an employees inbox?
What do you think?
