Yea, but I don't think the managers really asked for root not being able to read mail. They maybe wanted to make sure root could not read mails through imap/pop. Or maybe something else...

Maybe some Exchange brochure contains some blurb that says "Only allow users to read mails"... what do I know.

But even if you can take steps to block out root, he is God on the system any way you turn it.

Limit what you can, do what is sensible, and create an audit trail.

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
