Our Document Retention Policy defines 56 document type/retention period combinations. &nbsp;What software/hardware products do you use/recommend &nbsp;to automatically delete documents according to your policy? &nbsp;What human intervention is necessary to make the retention/deletion process successful?<br />
<br />
I have test driven the Barracuda Mail Archiver, and while this appilance works quite well, it involves (requires) end users to &quot;tag&quot; emails in a certain way that would correspond to the retention policy required. &nbsp;The mail archiver would then search on that &quot;tag&quot; and would then be able to apply the appropriate retention policy. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there a solution out there that doesn't rely completely on the end user to correctly &quot;tag&quot; the emails?

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
