Ask the lawyers where they will get the supporting e-mail based information to defend a lawsuit.
I strongly believe that companies that act ethically want to retain all evidence because it will ultimately support them.

The company sets a retention period of 60 days, then wants to know how to archive important mails. Well, every email every user gets is important to them. So the retention policy is really no policy at all. Anyhow, check out mailbox manager from the Exchange SP4 service pack. It will do the job of dumping all that old mail. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua (Greenville) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 9:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Email Retention Policies I have been asked to help with the new Email Retention Policy It looks as if Management does not want any items in the mailboxes older than 60 days Does anyone know of any good programs to help enforce this as well as possibly help manage the archiving of important emails (possibly to Public Folders Uggghhhhhh) Environment: 5 Sites All Servers Exchange 5.5 Sp4 All Post SP4 Hotfixes 15 Servers running either Windows 2000 SP3 or SP4 or NT 4.0 with SP6a TIA, Joshua Joshua Morgan Senior Network Administrator AIMCO W. 864 239-1015 C. 864 449-9912 _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
