Deleting items from vault

Question

We're beginning to explore various options for a new Records Management initiative.&nbsp; Previously, we simply used EV to control mailbox sizes.&nbsp; With the move to Exchange 2007 and managed folders we'd like to set it up so that when a process, such as a transport rule to delete email older than 90 days. removes the shortcut from the mailbox, it also deletes the item out of the vault.&nbsp;How can I set this up?

The question is why would you do it this way? Why not just archive with a 90 day retention period, turn on shortcut deletion and let EV handle everything. You could change the Exchange policy to 92 days to catch any "stragglers".&nbsp;&nbsp;

We'd like to continue to archive to keep our mailbox sizes down, but different managed folders will have different retention periods so we can't just do a blanket 90 day rule or whatever. So, an item gets archived in someone's Inbox, then they move they stub to a managed folder with a 7 year retention period on it that will be controlled by an Exchange 2007 rule.&nbsp; When Exchange purges the item I assume it is only going to delete the stub, leaving the item in the vault.&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the best way to handle this?&nbsp;
