Disaster Recovery
If you have set up automatic spooling for your message security service, and your
email server experiences an outage, the following occurs:
• If you set up inbound/outbound archiving, Message Archiving stores all
legitimate inbound messages before they are spooled. In this case, while your
email server is still down, you can view these inbound messages in the
corporate archive, and users can view their own messages in the Personal
Archive. Outbound messages are archived only if you are using the outbound
service and your outbound email server is able to send messages to the
message security service.
• If you set up journal archiving, once your email server is back up, it will
receive the spooled messages, journal them, and send them to your archive.
During your server outage, however, messages are not archived because
your server is unable to send journaled messages to the archive.
For more information about the spooling feature of your message security service,
refer to the Message Security Administration Guide.
