We (the medical librarian list) were discussing using Gmail

to bypass document limits in standard company e-mail systems (for interlibrary loan purposes)--sometimes those PDFs are large) and this article came up:

Firms Fret as Office E-Mail Jumps Security Walls - New York Times (free with registration)

I don't forward work-related things to my own account, but I do have a Gmail account specifically used for receiving interlibrary loans. I set it up after several requests got lost in the aether because they were too big to come to my work inbox. I may have to rethink that, but it's worked really well so far. The only personal information is a last name of a patron found on the DOCLINE receipts.

Hmmm...
