Tanya and Steven, Thanks for your responses. Sorry for delay, but I have reviewed and researched.
Tanya, thank you so much for the noting the second option - create new database for this mailbox. What you noted makes perfect sense. Yes there are extra steps, but I can handle and will have the least impact on our other databases. In case you are interested: Current plan is to add a small (10 GIG which can easily be expanded ) SAN drive to each DAG member, create a database just for this project, and apply all settings direct to the database. Thanks again and open to any comments.

Another option is to create a 1GB database and include it in the DAG. Since the "Keep deleted items for (days)" setting is set on a per database level, you can set this new 1GB database for 1 day. That way, it's different from the current 60 day setting you have for your other databases. Once you move the mailbox to this new 1GB database, it will inherit the database settings. I prefer the first option as there are less steps involved. ________________________________ From: x...@minneapolis.edu<mailto:x...@minneapolis.edu> To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com<mailto:exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Subject: Mailbox - Deleted Items and Recoverable Items - remove all retention from specific mailboxes Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:58:31 +0000 Greetings, Just tossing this out for review. Exchange 2010 SP2 UR3 Standard two node DAG Standard 10 MEG email attachment limit Project: Implement XEROX Webprint so remote or wireless students can submit print jobs to a specific campus mailbox which they can then print at any campus XEROX printer. ( We know how to make this XEROX process work to get the final printing outcome). My concern is EXCHANGE storage space on our servers, as we are a bit tight and no data on how much will be taken with this project with all the attachments. FYI - Vendor indicates that we need to use POP3, but that IMAP may be an option. Vendor also indicates that with POP3 and their product, all messages will be REMOVED from our EXCHANGE server as soon as forwarded to the XEROX web print server. I questioned vendor if it is really removed, or simply moved to Deleted Items and then to Recoverable Items folder ( formerly Dumpster) but vendor is not certain. I suspect I could put a specific retention tag on the mailboxes in question so Deleted Items are removed after 24 hours, but not sure if this can be done with individual mailbox on the Recoverable Items folder, as our global setting is 60 days. Otherwise, storage space could be taken up in Recoverable Items folder for 60 days. In Summary, my goal is to make sure anything sent to the XEROX print mailboxes is deleted after 24-48 hours and not taking space on our Exchange DAG. There is no requirement to preserve this print data, nor do we want to. Hoping for any input or questions if I was not clear in the above.
