I agree with you that if a user has an account, they should have email.
The accounts are for Elementary students. Some of the teachers/staff don't
want some kids to have access to email if they abuse it. (They could send
nasty emails to other class mates) (We use IMP)
We use a squid proxy to help block commercial email sites from the school, but
this will never stop a kid from sending email from their homes.
Anyway, I hope I never have to block email accounts, but if the boss says so,
then I guess I have to find a way.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Cheers,
Mike
