SOX 802 specifically provides for prison time for deletion of data "in contemplation of" matters that _are not yet under_ investigation and matters _that may not yet have begun_ at the time a deletion policy took effect. If you are subject to SOX, an attempt to subvert future subpoenas by destroying all data could well land you in jail. As for statutes outside of SOX and NASD/SEC, the treatment may be far more lenient, but the question here was about SOX. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ 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/
