We allow students and faculty to forward e-mail, but not staff. For staff, we do prohibit forwarding for security reasons.
Out of curiosity, what security reasons applied to staff but not to faculty? A lot of faculty handle a *lot* more sensitive data (student info, research data) than a lot of staff do. Who handles more stuff you worry about, the department chair, or the grounds crew? Or did you *want* to apply it to faculty too, but discovered that it's feasible to implement for staff, but herding the faculty felines into accepting it wasn't doable?
