Funny to see this today. I'm doing consulting for a customer, and have an account on their Outlook/Teams setup, while still being associated with another unrelated company. My own computer and equipment. Yesterday I received a bounce email from Outlook - my forwarded email could not be delivered since the recipient didn't exist. Thing is, I didn't forward anything, and there is a c-level guy in this small company that is close to that user but just a keyboard slip away.
So I have to assume that for some reason that forwarded email was supposedly interesting and there's either a filter to forward, or they manually log in and forward what's interesting. Either way, getting it in my face is pretty off-putting.
Thinking of forwarding that email and add "hey, your surveillance is misconfigured, but here it is anyway".
- deafpolygon 3y agoThey don't have to surveil your computer for e-mail. Assume any on-prem e-mail systems can be read by the admins at said company. The same goes for Office 365 e-mail systems as well.
- technion 3y agoWhat you are saying is absolutely true, but I've worked with some particularly inept executives and they are often identifiable with requests like "I want every email that new staff send bcced to me", which always becomes funny when they set up oof.
- retSava 3y agoYeah I do, it's just a bit on the nose to see that it's someone actually in-this-moment looking through my emails. Not an algo doing a keyword scan, not a save-for-what-ifs. A person, looking through my emails. What makes this even more funny, is that these guys are the ones going "we're a family" and all that.
