You probably want to get your lawyer's sign-off on any proposed
solution, but you might find it easier to configure your e-mail server
to archive all out-going e-mail. This allows you to keep an archive
store of other business communication, too.

Note -- you will have to address the question of employee privacy. I
don't know what Belgium's take on the matter is -- I understand that it
is possible in the UK *if* employees are warned that their use of e-mail
may be monitored.

You may also need to ask yourself whether you want to keep all out-going
e-mail for however many years -- if you have such an archive, lawyers
could subpoena it (or part of it) in any future lawsuit.

Tell us what e-mail server (Sendmail, Postfix, etc.) you have and
someone will tell you how (or if) you can configure it this way...

Hope this helps,

James.
