I am sorry if this is not the exact forum to post this question but seemed the most relevant. I am working in a network with 40/50 PC's managed by 3 people with administrator passwords. The OS used is GNU/Linux. There is also a webmail service provided by the same server, which is also maintained by the same people. My question is the following: Since the administrator has of course access to all user files, does this mean that one with administrator privileges can read everybody's emails?
Yes. If you are concerned about administrators of the mail server use encryption: <http://gnupg.org/> Note that if they are also administrators of your local computer, they can as well steal your key and install a keylogger to get all your gnupg passwords. -- Regards, ASK
