E-discovery best practices?

[John Abreau]

My boss wants me to come up with a plan for preserving
email in accordance with that new law that took effect Dec 1.
I've been poking around through google to see what others
are doing, but I haven't come up with anything useful yet.

How are others dealing with this? For now I've burned
copies of MailScanner's archive directories, to preserve
incoming mail, and I guess not reusing backup tapes
will preserve outgoing email until I get a better solution
in place.

One approach might be to rsync everyone's Sent folders
off the imap server, and then burn them to a dvd periodically.

But I'd rather not just pull some ad-hoc script out of my ass.
Can anyone point me to someplace where I can find useful
information on how to proceed?

My mail server is Courier IMAP and Sendmail. A few of my
users also use Blackberry's.
