May I suggest that you are avoiding the problem, rather than solving or
confronting it? Granted, the "average" user would be thwarted by this, but
perhaps disgruntled by it as well. What I have chosen to do is maintain
public and personal business email address, and only use my work email
address for things that are clearly work-related. In fact, I give vendors my
personal business email address, until such time as my employer has decided
to cut a P.O to said vendor. While my employer does use anti-spam measures,
I've already had two work email addresses overwhelmed with spam, and just do
not care to take that risk. Besides, I assume that spamcop is doing about as
good a job as anything else available (in my opinion). Basically, I am
protecting my employer's email server from both spam and virii by using my
own email address, which I access thru Outlook Express (versus Outlook for
company email).

I would propose limiting users to whatever solutions integrate with
company-provided / company-approved anti-virus and anti-spam measures, which
probably excludes most webmail, but should allow POP clients.
