In my comnpany we do the following when an employee leaves:

1- an auto response is put stating the the user is no longer with the company
2- forward his message to an employee that was choose by administration
3- after two or tree months according to his responsibility, the email
account his delete from the mail system

When an employee leaves the company, how do you handle their email?
Initially, in our case, an auto response is put up stating that the user is
no longer with the company, and that you should contact "this person" for
assistance etc…


Several times we have created a PST of the former employees email, and then
import that PST into the persons email box who has replaced them or we have
passed it off to their former manager, of course we place it in a separate
folder so as not mingle with their own email.


So how do you handle old email, specifically containers in an Exchange 2003
environment?


I would be interested in all thoughts, from security, regulatory and
logistical point of view.
