Thanks. As I just replied to Jonathan Raper, I'll advise my boss to check with corporate attorneys to see what they say and then work to see that everyone complies with that. :-)

However, it does implicitly require a formalized and structured retention policy to be applied. Of course, SOX doesn't apply to non-publicly-traded companies anyway. Even without SOX or other regulatory requirements, a retention policy based on what information is useful to your company, is a good thing to implement anyway. -Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 09:05 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Email retention What's the standard for email retention for companies which are NOT publicly traded? What's the SOX rules on email retention? I just helped one of our managers open some Outlook data files dating back to 2007 which got me thinking about the wisdom of retaining information that long and I wasn't sure what the "norm" is for retaining that info.
