Spam may be a part of life, not a way of life. If it can be reduced, stopped or even monitored then I think we have a duty to do so.

Ive been doing some digging and I think there is something that used to work with version 3 and possibly version 4.0.x but its how to move this onto 4.2 now...

MODIFICATION: Receive a copy of the email sent from visitors to listing owners.

To me this looks like email or communications interception and I would be very careful as to if this functionality when used were legal at all.

The Interception of Communications Act 1985 (IoCA)
Secrecy of correspondence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lets put it this way. If I thought someone other than a law enforcement agency (and with just grounds) was monitoring or had access to my email I would sue them.

I see where your coming from, but its not being intercepted as its being sent at the source.

Plus its not emails its a message and lastly it would be (and already is for me) stated in the terms and privacy that PMS are monitored to ensure the users safety and conformance with the rules of the site.

This besides then, as there appears no problem with the displaying of PMS via the admin console (which is easier to hack than a secured mail server) would it then not be possible to write the info to 2 seperate tables at once, so the admin sees the admin copy as it were and the user has the original.

Interfering with email by intercepting it at any point is clearly going to get a site owner in trouble or at least there is great potential to get in trouble. Doesn't matter if it is just after the submit button was pressed or anywhere en route. Read the law in just those two snippets and google it for more. It is pretty clear isn't it even if you are not a lawyer what the law is intending to stop. I don't have difficulty understanding it.

As for PMs its perhaps an open question but I bet it would be considered illegal in many countries for a 3rd party to be reading them. I do not implement PMs at all myself and if I did I would use a big sign informing people that their communications are not confidential or private, can be viewed by the admin (private being a misnomer) and I am not responsible for what people send via the private messaging system (libel).

You may like to reflect on why you see yourself above this snippet below which is enshrined in most countries national laws. I really think you have got it wrong. You should not be opening PMs period or intercepting emails. Users are responsible for furnishing inappropriate emails or messages.

Article 12 Declaration of Human Rights:
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
