Umm... Yah... In 1994 I had to deal with turning over records to the police. I did not work for AOL at the time. I worked for a medium sized ISP. There is no multiple increase for the number of subpoenaed records based on storing mail or not storing mail. The point of a subpoena is to explore evidence and see what is there. They do it if they know there is data to get at or not. They do it with every case where there could have been data. If we store data at an ISP it just means there will be data to hand over.. It does not mean we will be subpoenaed more. -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
