Software/Email Usage Policy

[KeriV]

Does anyone know where I can find a nice template for software/Email usage for my company? I have been searching and all I can seem to find is internet usage policies.
Thanks

I'm using Argosoft Mail Server at my work. I've only been able to send email across our local Intranet only, not the Internet. Still trying to figure that one out. But works great and is easy to use. Here's their website if this helps you at all:
