Hi All,
I had read a while ago that the EU Commision was considering a law
that would require ISPs to keep logs of e-mail headers for 3 years. I
dismissed it at the time as crazy due to the amount of e-mail (and
therefore data storage) involved.

I read now in the times that it will become law in a month
(http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/frontpage/2008/0119/1200605160420.html)

Has the IT got it wrong or are all of us e-mail providers in for a
rough run over the next while to comply with draconian legislation?

Regards,
Cian
