The company has the right to check on your emails because you are actually using your company's property such as the PC, mail server and email program.

If you check your personal email on your company's computer it is also perfectly fine for them to take or record all data.

Usually in the tele-marketing line, they record your calls so as to improve on their service and train their telemarketers in areas which they are weak in.

Not so, my friend who used to work at the IT department of a big company here in Malaysia handles the email screening program. They search all the company emails for special phrases, e.g. XXX, porn, smut, etc..etc..

In a way, it coincides with the spam filter as well.

Also if you noticed that you cannot send out certain type of files with certain extensions as well.
