We rely heavily on ASSP's resend functionality.  I store the entire email,
which I can't recommend enough!  .It's great.  I'm not storing files
separately.

The corpus cleans itself up after we hit the maxFiles limit.  It's a
relatively small installation, about 50 users in total, so 30k messages max
files easily stores all the good and bad emails along with discarded etc
(each folder is it's own max count).  Sure, after a couple days, there's a
good chance that a file will no longer exist, but that's infrequent.
