The system can be configured to integrate with third party archiving servers to archive messages using the following steps:

1. Select Configuration > Mail > Archiving .

User Guide

Configuration fields for three classifications of archiving will appear for High , Medium , and Low

Importance archiving actions.

2. Select the Active check box to activate this archiving action.

3. Select an Action Name to be displayed as the archiving action for the Pattern Filter, Objectionable

Content, and Content Scanning features.

4. Select the Archive copy to action to send the message to an archive server.

5. In the Action Data field, enter an email address or the name of the mail route for the destination archiving server.

For archiving to an email address, enter an address such as [email protected]

.

This will be a mailbox that will contain all archived messages. Your archiving server will be able to pull its data for the system’s archived messages from this mailbox.

To use a mail route to route mail to the archiving server, set the Action Data to archive_high_reroute , archive_medium_reroute , or archive_low_reroute as required.

A corresponding mail route will need to be created on the system via Configuration > Mail > Routing . Mail routes are not required if archiving to an email address.

6. Select the Add header check box to add an archive header to the message when it is sent to the destination archive server.

This allows the archiving server to store that message according to its classification in the header and allow for more efficient retrieval of the message in the future.

7. Enter the mail Header data that will be added to the message header, such as X-Archive: high .

8. Select the Notification that can be sent to the recipients, sender, or administrator when a message has been archived.
