And the sysadmins can ensure that the server remains up, data untouched, for seven years? Wow.
No, but one can maintain monthly backups and know the most recent backup is reliable source of archived emails. If the system is about to be retired, you can export a copy of the mailbox as part of the decommissioning.
Why can't the courts just order an image to be taken and stored till the lawsuit ends?
If a lawsuit goes on for years, then current emails are also required to be preserved, so a point in time snapshot is not sufficient.
Just curious, I mostly know about the USA court system from the movies ;-)
- If a user's mailbox is in litigation hold mode and they edit a received or sent email, then the version that went across the wires is saved and so is the modified one. Thus if a user attempts to edit a key email to say something other than what it actually said, their actions are easily identified. (This is exclusively true if the litigation hold mode is enabled for the mailbox.)
LOL. That's one reason to never use Exchange. Better use dovecot and retrieve to local machine. :-P
With Exchange 2003, if you knew what you were doing you could circumvent the technology and do that . I don't know about newer Exchange releases. I'd have to setup a test server and run some experiments. ;) Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
