Sounds like a plan to me. I'll start advising the individual managers that their sales reps are filling up their email boxes and if they dont clear out some of the space, said sales rep won't be able to receive emails from customers or from the factory about sample requests, etc from their customer. :-) Thanks, Jonathan...
And thanks to everyone who had something to input on this topic. Bottom line, I'm turning it over to Management with the recommendation that we ask the corporate attorneys for their recommendation on how long to retain emails. :-) From: Jonathan Link [mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 11:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Email retention All of what you're doing is employee management that should be the manager's responsibility. You should be informing management that employees are wasting resources, or providing reports that indiciate whether or not employees are following policies. Managers should be then following up with direct reports. This is not a technical problem, it is a behavioral problem, which can be identified using technology and should be handled by managers. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
