2.2.1 Preparing the Journal Mailbox

A Journal mailbox is a mailbox that stores copies of emails sent or received by email users. This

enables the recording of all email in an organization, with minimum performance overheads. GFI

MailArchiver uses Microsoft

Exchange Server journaling to centralize all the emails to archive in a

single mailbox.

IMPORTANT

If journaling is not set up correctly, email archiving will NOT work.

2.2.2 Preparing the Journal Mailbox in Microsoft

Exchange Server 2003

Configuring a Microsoft

Exchange Server journaling mailbox for use within GFI MailArchiver requires

you to create a new journal mailbox and to configure Microsoft Exchange to archive emails to the

journal mailbox. Then you are also to configure whether to journal just the BCC information or all the

header information

For detailed instructions on configuring a journaling mailbox in Microsoft

Exchange Server 2003 for

use with GFI MailArchiver, refer to Create a Journal Mailbox in Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003

in Appendix 1 .

2.2.3 Preparing the Journal Mailbox in Microsoft

Exchange Server 2007/2010

Microsoft

Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft

Exchange Server 2010 support two types of

journaling:

Standard journaling: This feature enables the configuration of a Mailbox store that enables the

recording of email in an organization. GFI MailArchiver can use Microsoft

Exchange Server jour-

naling to centralize all the emails to archive in a single mailbox for archival. This type of jour-

naling is also called per-mailbox database journaling.

Premium journaling: Only available with the Microsoft

Exchange Server Enterprise client access

license. It enables an administrator to setup custom journaling rules such as Archive only incom-

ing emails, Archive only outgoing emails or Archive emails for a particular group. This journaling is

also called per-recipient journaling.

GFI MailArchiver utilizes this type of journaling by detecting and displaying these rules in the Data

Sources Configuration Wizard.

Choosing a Journaling Method

Choose standard journaling to archive all emails (inbound and outbound) for all users in your

organization.

Choose premium journaling of you want more control over the emails to archive (e.g. only for spe-

cific users or for inbound or outbound only).

NOTE

Premium journaling requires a Microsoft

Exchange Enterprise client access license.
