What would the implications be ?
Would one need to keep even the spam ?
(I once heard a story about an employee who had printed out every email he got,
including a cabinet full of spams)
What about the funny_video_with_elephant.mpg the clogg-up the mailboxes ?
What abot quotas ? I assume most sensible organisation nowadays has
email-quotas.
Though there's hardly a point about quotas (IMO) if people start to download it
to a local .pst that itself sits on a network drive, which is what happens in
the end...

Would the company have to make sure, nobody accidentially deletes a mail, e.g.
by doing something like always_bcc in postfix and dumping it into a maildir
that get's DLTed every day ?
