			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote a generic e-mail filtering standard.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>3.1 Content Filtering</strong></p>
<p>Employ a content filtering mechanism that scans all incoming e-mail messages and their attachments and manages the messages depending on the results of the scan.</p>
<p><strong>3.1.1 Suspicious Content</strong></p>
<p>Strip suspicious active content (ActiveX, JavaScript, etc.) from e-mail and forward to quarantine.</p>
<p><strong>3.1.2 Prohibited Words</strong></p>
<p>Quarantine e-mails that contain words or phrases that indicate the e-mail is “junk” or “spam”, words in the “Carlin List” and words that are racist, libelous, offensive or obscene.</p>
<p><strong>3.1.3 Outbound Filtering</strong></p>
<p>Protect the organization from possible litigation or loss of sensitive data by implementing outbound e-mail filtering.</p>
<p>3.1.3.1 Quarantine outbound e-mails that contain words or phrases viewed as inappropriate for use in organizational e-mail, including hoaxes and “spam”.<br />
3.1.3.2 Quarantine outbound e-mails that contain words or phrases that indicate sensitive data is leaving the organization.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>An archive of the standard is here: <a href="http://www.datasecuritypolicies.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/generic-e-mail-filtering-standard.pdf" title="E-mail Filtering Standard">E-mail Filtering Standard</a></p>
<p>Let me know if you have any suggestions!</p>
