Regardless of your company's policy, I hope your lawyers are good. Saving 
someone's incoming and outgoing email is a pretty high breach of privacy in 
my book, and possibly illegal. Incoming is extremely easy, just add a 
procmail recipe that greps for that person's email and saves it to a file. 
See "man procmailex" for some examples. Of course, if they do something as 
simple as use a hotmail account, then you've already lost the battle. :) 
Or use GnuPG. Alsom, if the messages are not digitally signed, he or she 
can alays deny that they wrote or received the emails. :)
