And why did I create and turn on email monitoring at that site?

Well, those business magazines for the computer industry like to sell big
screaming "Internet Security: the Sky is Falling!!!" covers now and then.

So, one triggered the Chairman to start making strange noises about shutting
down the Internet connection for security reasons. Also said something about
having email printed out at the Internet system and hand-delivered.

Now THAT scared the hell out of the rest of us, from geeks to managers, so,
being the hired gun for doing Internet security, I created some capture code.
All email in and out of the firm was now being copied to a 'save' directory.

Each night I went over it - all email traffic - with the aid of my analytics:
keyword spotting and keyword excluding software.

I had never heard of ECHELON or DICTIONARY or anything like it.

It was just obvious what to do from trying to check all (each and every one)
email personally at first. There was way too much of it for me to do that.

All the analytics I set up, including what I call the daily 'radar' file,
depended entirely on keyword monitoring. Items selected for review met a
series of include/exclude keyword matches.

Everything.
