The SEC has guidelines but those mostly apply to financial institutions. If
your company is publicly traded there may be some guidelines. This question
is best passed through your legal department first.

Subject: Email Retention - legal stuff


Is email retention legally required for a certain period of time now? We
don't currently have a policy for email retention - we keep monthly backups
for 1 year.  The only information that I can find (and I may not be looking
in the right places) says that retention is based on your company's
communicated policy.  We're an apparel company, so it's not like there's
other special retention requirements on us.  My bosses just decided this was
important.

Thanks.
Tara
