Most corporations have general e-mail policies regarding sexually explicit material, forwarding of jokes, those types of things that are generally offensive to just about everybody. Beyond that, most corporations have e-mail policies regarding such things as the use of mass distribution lists. You can't solicit to everyone within a company something.
