Archiving Messages - Symantec 10490452 - Mail Security 8220 Administration Manual

Archiving messages

The archive action creates a copy of a message and sends it to an email address,
and, optionally, an archive server host. If no additional action is specified, the
original message is delivered normally as well. The copy is delivered via SMTP
email to the specified email address, so can be accessed as email by the email
address owner. Ensure that the email address you specify is valid and that the
messages delivered to the address are managed appropriately. For example, you
may want to add the archived messages to your backup scheme.
Note the following additional information about the Archive action:
Only one, global email address is supported. You can't supply different
■
archive email addresses for different policies.
The specified archive email address replaces the original message recipients
■
in the message envelope. The
Archiving occurs after spam and virus filtering but before message markup,
■
such as modifying the subject line.
To set the archive email address destination
1 In the Control Center, click Policies > Archive.
2 In the Archive email address box, type a complete email address, such as
kyi@example.com.
3 Optionally, specify a computer to which to relay archived messages in the
Archive server host box.
4 Optionally, specify a port for the archive server host in the Archive server
port box.
Port 25, the usual port for SMTP messages, is the default.
5 Check or uncheck Enable MX Lookup to enable or disable MX lookup for the
archive server host.
If enabled, archive messages are routed using the MX information
corresponding to the archive server host. If disabled, archive messages are
always routed to the specified archive server host.
6 Click Save.
