 actually, as a financial institution in order to guard against 
unscrupulous/clueless employees sending unencrypted confidential 
customer financial information to hacker sites in russia and china, the 
rest of us are stuck with this policy. 
it's that whole bank/sec thing! 
for the most part, they don't care that we have a personal life.  just 
that we can't pass any information without them (the infamous 'them') 
being able to trace it. not stop it, just trace it when the fan hits the 
shit! 

btw, how is the market any better now for sysadmins?

It's really an asinine policy.  Either the HR people are trying to block 
all personal email, which will never happen (cf phone policies over the 
last 50 years), or they are saying that they really want to know what 
their employees are having for dinner, what they're doing on Friday 
night and whose turn it is to pick up the kids from Jeremy's house. 

I suggest you print out the personal emails sent to the business 
accounts of the HR people responsible for the policy and start leaving 
them at the water cooler. 

That will get the policy changed in a hurry... or it will create an 
opportunity for you to find a new job.  It's a good market for job 
hunters right now.  :-)

p.s.: This virus sig is asinine too, but what's even worse is that it's 
grammatically incorrect!  Argh!
