Recommended solution for reviewing and approving emails before they get sent
Hi All,
This is my first post on LQ after reading the forums for solutions for many years. My apologies if I mess anything up.
I'm the communications officer on a ship that has Internet access. In port, the crew has unrestricted and unmonitored Internet access. When we are out at sea however, the crew are only allowed to send and receive emails and due to the sensitive nature of our work all outgoing emails have to be screened before they can be sent to make sure confidential information is not being sent out. I would like to stress at this point that all crew members are 100% aware that their email is read before it is sent, there is no surreptitious monitoring going on! I don't like it, but it's the way it has to be.
The comms officers before me have used a very manual system of copying approved emails from one folder to another where they get sent, which is a bit nasty and prone to error.
What I am looking for is any kind of solution that will act as a mail server that crew send email to, but will let me review and approve emails before they are sent. If emails can be forwarded or printed (useful for gaining the captains approval in questionable cases) before they are sent that would also be good.
Ideally the system would run on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and would have a web-based control panel for reviewing and approving emails. I'm also looking for a solution that would allow all of the non-essential headers (everything but from, to, subject and date) to be automatically stripped out of the email.
I'm experienced with Bash and PHP and not against a little coding but don't really have the time to write anything from scratch.
I've done a lot of Googling, but haven't turned up what I need.
I hope this makes sense, let me know if you need any clarification.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
