Hi,
In the latest version of sendmail is a sample program
that can archive all mail passing through a mailserver. You
can obviously backup this archive.
You can also set the outlook client to use IMAP but there's
no way to prevent people from creating local *.pst files and
copying mail there.
Be aware of the legal consequences of backing up e-mail. In
some jurisdictions you may need to provide a written statement
to all your employees that states that the e-mail system is
corporate property and you reserve the right to read all mail
passing through the mailserver. Backed-up e-mail can also
become a tremendous liability in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit.
Stored e-mail was used to find against Microsoft in the recent
trust-busting lawsuit. COnsult your company attourney before
doing this - it may be best to have a policy of deleting all
e-mail over 90 days old, and deleting all e-mail immediately on
notice of termination of an employee.
