Policy Monitoring
Many organizations need to keep track of organizational policy violations, and to be alerted when violations occur. Policies can include defining
when it is acceptable to send messages containing executable files or any inappropriate content (usually never); identifying how often messages
containing references to forbidden topics are sent (especially when litigation is expected); and when certain email recipients can be contacted
(excessive personal emails during business hours).
The Barracuda Message Archiver includes a set of standard policies that are updated regularly via , and allows you to easilyEnergize Updates
create your own policies to fit your specific organization environment. You can configure to go out whenever a policy violation is detected,alerts
and are available to summarize new policy violations and to detect any that are found amongst the messages stored in the archive.reports
Auditing
Organizations frequently use outside firms to perform an audit of company records. With the Barracuda Message Archiver, you can provide an
independent complete access to all data. Using the Auditor role, there is no need to add the user directly to the official directory structure,auditor
nor is there need to assign the user administrator-level privileges to the entire network.
Specific individuals or accounts can be assigned special on the Barracuda Message Archiver including the ability to create andaudit privileges
monitor policies, and to flag messages as needed.
Stubbing
Stubbing refers to the replacement of the often sizable attachments in messages with "stubs" that contain a link from which an attachment can be
retrieved, thus eliminating the need to store attachments on the mail server where they take up valuable disk space. Messages that have stubs in
place of the actual attachment can still be read, forwarded, and otherwise acted upon in the same manner as messages with embedded
attachments.
The Barracuda Message Archiver supports , and offers an that allowsstubbing with Microsoft Exchange mail servers add-in for Microsoft Outlook
users to easily stub or unstub their own messages containing attachments.
Attachment Parsing
Parsing is the process of analyzing and indexing searchable text. In addition to message parsing, the Barracuda Message Archiver parses
attachments.

the following table:
