    Look in your /var/log/sm-mta, that is what's archived every month.  
/var/mail/ gets backed up every night, but not archived.  So if your 
question relates to me being able to recover a lost e-mail from 
someone's INBOX, then no I'm not keeping entire messages.  However, I 
*can* extract the contents of the message from the log file and give 
that to the user.  And for our clients, that's good enough.
