thanks for the replies so far, the point that Knottyrope raises is more of what i was trying to get to as with an external mail point configured on a blackberry, what risks can this pose if for instance, an email is pushed with an embeded java payload/exe or virus attachment, could this run rampant on the BlackBerry?
As per usual, it's a case of Corporate policy say's you cannot have access BUT for some reason company execs seem to have this if they scream loud enough
Thanks for all your replies so far.
