RE: AS400 EMAIL ...

This looks like a damn stupid policy.

I don't know any european country that has a similar policy...

Under the new eDiscovery rules that went into effect Dec 1, you could go

to jail for not being able to produce an email related to a lawsuit.
That 
is YOU, the CIO of your company. This applies to private as well as
public 
companies; actually any entity who can be sued. The crime is
"spoliation"; 
destruction of evidence or potential evidence. You need to have an 
electronics records retention policy in place and have the ability to
hold 
documents from destruction under your policy once they've been
subpoenaed.

I'm not a lawyer. I may be overstating this absurdly. However, it has
been 
the topic of many records managment discussions I've heard in the past 
year.

That's a good point.  We use the i5 as the mail server and cannot
archive
mail.

We're a privately held company, not public.  What kinds of reasons we 
there
be that we would need to archive email?
