While we're on this topic, I'm interested in hearing from organizations
that are subject to the SEC rules regarding retention of broker-dealer
communications who use Lotus Notes and are able to maintain Lotus Notes
email in a manner that is compliant with Rule 17a with regard to the
requirement to, "Preserve the records exclusively in a non-rewriteable,
non-erasable format;". Because of the nature of Lotus Notes databases,
this is a significant technical challenge. I'm certain that
organizations have overcome this.

If you can share with me the technical aspects of how you achieve
compliance with Rule 17a with a Lotus Notes email system, please
respond on list or feel free to contact me off list.

I am not particularly interested in hearing from vendors / consultants
at this time. We're talking to IBM directly, as well as other vendors
that our firm uses. We're specifically looking for credible user
experiences.
