I wrote a program to scan the internal e-mail on our Novell server - one could load different word lists allowing scanning for different items e.g. stolen goods, obscenities, bullying etc., It worked very well. "catching" a lot of offenders, but without real effect. The kids objected, making noises about privacy, but they accepted use of the system knowing full well that mail could/would be scanned. They (usually bullies) would try to spoof, but my program would display the true originator, even though the recipient could not see this in a normal e-mail browser. It was interesting that even though we could prove to them that spoofing was a waste of time, they continued to do so, disbelieving the printed evidence in front of them. One wonders what sort of people we are raising in our schools!
