We looked at all the locations as to where the mail may have gone, nothing
showed up. I find it interesting that it recorded its information in the
logs.

You could go into the mail spool directory and do a search for the
message and see if it has hung up somewhere, but I suspect you are out
of luck. Check the client anyway, depending on how the user set his
system up, it may just be queued for deletion, and just needs to
"undeleted". Its in cases like this (and I believe legal protection as
well) that the company should be running some type of procmail script on
the server to copy and backup all incoming mail - but this requires
someone to actually go out and set this up, as its not the default.
