I'll disagree. If you followed alt.security about a month ago, someone
from Solomon Brothers posted about their security policies and
(mal-)practices. In those messages (quite a few, larges ones), it was
explicitly stated that all traffic (esp. email) through the firewall
was monitored by the administrators to spot leaking of company secrets
(quite successfully too, from what he says). I wouldn't be too
surprised if other companies have similar policies.
