Also use cyrus replication to a second server. And we backup mailboxes.db to a text file once a day.This is exactly what we do. Deleted and expunged messages are kept for up to 2 days, but I'll likely extend this to avoid trips to `the wayback machine.'' A surprising number of people don't notice they deleted messages, or don't report it for a few days.
Forgot to mention that we keep deleted and expunged for 7 days. The more disk space you have the longer you can keep them around for.
