To fully utilize envelope journaling, you must set up the following on the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003:
Step1: Create a Mailbox Store for the Journaling Mailbox - Define a dedicated mailbox store for the envelope journaling mailbox,
otherwise mail arriving in the mailbox results in unwanted mail loops.
Step 2: Create Remote Domain - Create a new remote domain.
Step 3: Set Up Message Routing for the Journal Contact - Define message routing to route journal contact via a dedicated SMTP
connector.
Step 4: Create a Journal Account Mailbox - Create a Journal account mailbox.
Step 5: Create a Custom SMTP Recipient - Define an SMTP address in your Active Directory; this address serves as the delivery
address for journaled messages.
Step 6: Hide Mail Contact in Exchange Global Address List, Modify SMTP Addresses, and Enable Server-Side Mailbox Forwarding - Set
up a server-side rule to forward all journaled messages to the custom SMTP recipient mailbox.
Step 7: Modify Journal Mail Contact - Hide the Journal Mailbox from the Exchange Server address lists to maintain the mailbox store for
envelope journaling only.
Step 8: Enable Envelope Journaling on Exchange - Enable envelope journaling on Exchange to deliver messages using an envelope
message containing a journal report with the original message as an attachment.
Step 9: Configure Exchange Mailbox Management - Define an Outlook rule to automatically delete archived messages forwarded to the
Barracuda Message Archiver from the local mailbox store to reduce storage "bloat".
Step 10. Verify Journaling is Functioning as Expected - Verify your set up is complete.
Step 1. Create a Mailbox Store for the Journaling Mailbox
Use the following steps to add a new mailbox store on your Exchange Server.
1a. Launch the console ( ), expand your servers, andExchange System Manager (ESM) Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager
navigate to the server in which you intend to add the mailbox store.
1b. Right-click , point to , and click :First Storage Group New Mailbox Store
Posts to public folders - Journaling cannot be enabled on public folder stores.
Expansion of external distribution lists - While actual message content sent to or from internal and external distribution lists
can be journaled, only an internal distribution list can be fully expanded and included in the envelope journaling data.
Membership information for a distribution list that is external to your Exchange organization cannot be expanded and therefore
cannot be included in the envelope information even if individual members on the list are in your Exchange server.
Important
To ensure messages display properly in all standard mail clients, save messages in Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
(MIME) multipart format.
It is possible to send messages and other Exchange data directly from the mailbox database to an archive over SMTP using
Microsoft Outlook server-side rules or Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) Exchange Properties. However,
messages sent based on these settings include envelope information.do not
Envelope data is encapsulated with a message only the message is delivered to the journaling mailbox. In other words, ifafter
a message is forwarded directly via SMTP, envelope data is not included. Therefore, it is highly recommended that all
in order to retain data (including ‘Bcc’forwarding to the Barracuda Message Archiver occur from the journaling mailbox
recipients and a fully expanded distribution list) to ensure your archive complies with Ediscovery standards.
