REMAILERS: Netcoms Policy and hazards to remailers
An issue arose today with Netcoms DASD migration... My Account was moved from /ux/accountname to /uxx/accountname, which caused my .forward file to begin bouncing mail. Netcoms sysadms promptly moved my .forward to .forard.bak to eliminate the bounces and notified me via the now working mail. During my conversation with the admin I asked specifically what Netcoms policy vis-a-vis ECPA, search warrants, and warrantless requests from Law enforcement of any kind for both e-mail in transit and stored files.. The answer was as it should be. A "proper" search arrant would be required prior to cooperation with LE. Netcom as a policy ill NOT provide ANY materials other than account name without a search warrant, unless an account on netcom is used to crack another site and netcom is liable( in which case they will file a complaint and give cooperation to investigating officers.) a warrant is required for release. The subject of remailer and crypto out of a netcom account didnt elicit any comment from the sysadmin...) Tomorrow I will call and ask specifically on that area... anon
