Our company is rather simple in this regard. Anyone doing this sort of 
thing is disrupting computer services and is violating the company policy.

They get one slap on the hand. The next slap is the sound of the pink slip 
being slapped on that persons desk.

Then again we have almost half a dozen ways people can connect from hoem 
to read the company email so forwarding it is pointless.

And smart forwarding rules should only forward if it really is addressed 
to you or your group and most spam would not match those criteria.
