Email Policy Changes

[Craig Freyman <craigfreyman () gmail com>]

Our lawyers are demanding a drastic change in the way we handle email at our
company. This will be a huge change for our working culture here and I am
anticipating major backlash from the users, but "It is what it is."  I was
hoping the pauldotcom list would think of ways around their policy. I'll
have to develop controls to try and stop people from doing so.

Here is what they want to do:
Only keep 60 days of email, everything will be deleted on a rolling basis.
You can choose to save specific emails to your home drive and that space
will be capped.

Putting my nefarious user hat on, these are the ways around the policy as I
see it:

   - Upload email to a dropbox type account.
   - Saving to USB drives
   - Accessing webmail from a non-company computer and saving it there
   - CD Burning
   - Forwarding to external email accounts IE gmail, hotmail
   - Saving to other places on the network

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Craig
