As a result our IT department is leaning towards keeping everything
indefinitely, saying why bother trying to cover e-mails with retention
schedules

That would be one hell of a corporate mistake. Train them on RIM...;
or your corporation gives up on RIM. Apply retention policies to I/S
backup tapes as well.

After reading the discourse on e-mail business rules, I do have a
question. We are looking at implementing an e-mail vaulting solution as
the third phase of our records management project. We have implemented
Stellent/Oracle URM and PRM, are using it now for physical records
management and working on bringing our Stellent EDMS under the records
retention program in URM. The e-mail is the next challenge. It is my
understanding that even if you are destroying e-mail records according
to a legally validated retention schedule, those e-mails can still be
retrieved in court cases etc since they never really go away, just
sitting out there somewhere is cyberland waiting to be caught. As a
result our IT department is leaning towards keeping everything
indefinitely, saying why bother trying to cover e-mails with retention
schedules. How do you handle this and is there a way to delete e-mails
so that they are "really destroyed" and cannot be retrieved in any
situations? If not is there any legal advantage to covering e-mail
records with the retention schedule, even if they can be retrieved after
"destruction"?
Thank you
