Microsoft Exchange Email Archiving
Exchange Standard Edition Email Archiving
Email archiving with Exchange Standard is possible through either standard or envelope journaling. All journaled email is placed in the journaling mailbox. The email cannot be automatically forwarded to the Jatheon Plug n Comply device, instead the archiving appliance will retrieve the email from the mailbox through POP3 periodically.
Exchange Enterprise Edition Email Archiving
Email archiving with Exchange Enterprise is available either through periodic POP3 retrieval or automatic forwarding to the archiving appliance. Automatic forwarding is a real time email archiving method available only on the Exchange Enterprise models.
Email Archiving Types:
Microsoft Exchange servers offer email archiving through the journaling feature. There are two types of journaling:
Email Archiving with Standard Journaling
Exchange email archiving through standard journaling is available on Microsoft Exchange 2000 SP2 and 2003. This journaling method creates a copy of each incoming, outgoing and internal email and places it in a journaling user mailbox. The messages are copied in their original form and the BCC and CC fields are lost using this method.
Email Archiving with Envelope Journaling
Exchange email archiving through envelope journaling is an advanced method available in Microsoft Exchange 2000 SP2, 2003 and 2007. Emails archived through this method are preserved in their original form. The original email, before it is split into multiple emails for delivery, is loaded in an envelope that preserves both BCC and CC fields and all the recipients of the original email. This allows Jatheon Plug n Comply email archiving appliances to capture and archive all of the email fields and make them available for search.
Exchange 2000 Email Archiving
Microsoft introduced journaling mechanism in the service pack 2 of Exchange 2000. This allows email archiving using both the standard and enveloped journaling method. Jatheon Plug n Comply series of appliances can archive email using both standard and enveloped journaling.
Exchange 2003 Email Archiving
Email archiving with Exchange 2003 is similar to its predecessor in both the configuration and features. Both standard or enveloped journaling are available. Plug n Comply archiving appliance can either receive the email real-time or periodically through POP3.
Exchange 2007 Email Archiving
Journaling configuration in Microsoft Exchange 2007 has changes significantly in both the journal format and Exchange configuration. Only envelope journaling is available as of service pack two. Journaling is now enabled on the Exchange transport node. Archived email is sent directly to the Jatheon Plug n Comply appliance.
