[SATLUG] email retention

[Henry Crockett]

OK, here's what you do:

1. Buy 2 file cabinets, fill the drawers with plastic bags of shredded paper. Then lock the drawers & throw away the key.
2. When someone asks if you are storing the email copies tell them they are in the file cabinets.
3. If anyone breaks into the cabinets tell them the emails are stored that way "for security reasons."
4. If anyone ever asks for an copy of an email tell them they have to USPS a written request to the ISO office:

											
											ISO Central Secretariat

											1, ch. de la Voie-Creuse

											Case postale 56 

											CH-1211 Geneva 20

											Switzerland.
(They NEVER respond.)

5. If anyone ever presses you hard say that the email that they need is in the remote storage warehouse because that file cabinet was full. You are unsure which warehouse because that isn't your job.
6. By the time anyone figures out that they have been had you will be retired in Costa Rica. (Or maybe a congressman yourself.)

Subject: [SATLUG] email retention


I got wind of a proposed law or (PIA) to mandate public agencies to retain 
copies of all emails entering their networks.

As a public school IT administrator I'm wondering what open source 
solution I can implement to retain copies of all emails. Sheesh, will I 
have to keep copies of the tons of SPAM I'm dumping into /dev/null too?

Can someone point me toward a reliable source of information?

Sincerely,
