Hi Miguel,

When you say, "you need to save all msn conversations on your network" by what do you mean by this ???  Will these people know that you are saving there conversations ???

Cause you may find that you are breaking parts of the privacy act. I can't say alot about this and it is best you look at the privacy act for your country to see where you stand legally.

Hi All, (I am not a lawyer but...)
I am taking a business law class right now :hammer:,
I know that at least with US law the following applies: (I think the laws would be pretty similar elsewhere too)

-There is an established precedent for reading email assuming that they are using your email server, you can read whatever you want.

-BUT, with any other electronic surveilance (phone, IM, etc.), there must be something in the employee handbook saying that it is subject to surveilance.

If employees sign something acknowleding that, you really shouldn't have any problems. (Of course that depends on local contract and labor laws too) Then it just becomes more of an ethical question.

-Check your company's privacy policy and see if any private communication at work is really considered private.

-Some companies have gotten in trouble for saying that electronic communication is private but then later used it as grounds to fire someone. (Michael A. Symth Vs. The Pillsbury Co. 914 F. Supp. 97, 1996 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 776) In this case, someone was making some death threats   :-o  


After that long winded thing...
I would recomend etherreal.

the reason to save the messenger conversations is because we make bussiness over the messenger and we need a backup, the messenger in this company is not personal and everybody knows that ! . so dont worry about privacy.


thanks

Messenger (7 Beta) allows all conversations to be saved in a directory to suit user.

Go to Options>Messages>Message History

I use it to prove who asked who to go to the pub  :pint:
