Setting up Microsoft Exchange Server
To allow MailArchiver Plus to archive mails from Microsoft Exchange
Server, the "Journaling" option need to be enabled. By enabling
"Journaling", a copy of all the mails passing through Microsoft Exchange
Server is copied to the journal mailbox. Once journaling is enabled, MailArchiver Plus periodically polls the
journal
mailbox and archives the emails.
To enable journaling in Exchange 5.5 Service Pack 1 or later, refer the following link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239427
To enable journaling in Exchange Server 2000 Service Pack 3 or later:
- In the Active Directory, create a user with a mailbox, say "journal". This mailbox will be used when the "Journaling" option is enabled in the Exchange.
- Open the Microsoft Exchange -> System Manager
and navigate to the mailbox store for which journaling has to be
enabled. Right-click on the mailbox store and select Properties from the context
menu.
- In the Properties
dialog, go to the General tab
and enable Archive all messages sent
or received by mailboxes on this store option.

- Click on the Browse
button and in the Select Recipient
dialog, enter the name of the mailbox where the emails have to be
journaled (In this case, it is journal)

- Close the Mailbox Store
Properties and Exchange
System Manager when you complete this process.
Now, the exchange server is ready, and the "journal" mailbox starts
receiving a copy of all the mails that are received in this store.
Note: As of now,
MailArchiver Plus supports archiving from a single journal mailbox
only. In case you need to enable journaling for more than one
Exchange Store, then ensure that the Journal recipient is the same user
("journal") that we used above, for all the store.
Enabling Envelope Journaling: (not available in Exchange 5.5)
In order to archive the header information of the email, you
need to enable the Envelope Journaling. This can be configured in
two ways:
- By using Email Journaling Advanced Configuration tool
(exejcfg.exe)
- By using the ADSI editor management console.
Using
the exejcfg.exe:
- Execute this file by typing exejcfg
-e to enable envelope journaling (You can use exejcfc -d option to disable envelope
journaling)
Using the ADSI Editor Management
Console
- Open the adsiedit.msc console. (This can be found in Windows 2003
Server Support tools and in Windows 2000 server resource kit)
- Navigate to CN <Your
Organization> under Configuration
-> CN=Configuration -> CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange
- Right click on your organization name and click on Properties from the context menu.
- From the Attributes list
select the heuristics
attribute and click on Edit
button.
- Set this value to 512
and click on OK button
to save the setting. (Set it to 0
to disable envelope journaling)
