What Should I Do Before Setting Up Journaling?
Before you set up journaling on your Domino Server, we recommend that you first
do the following:
• Ensure that you have Configuration Settings documents for the servers
• Outline the server mail rules you want to implement for journaling
• Adjust quotas on the mail databases
• Create an additional email account for each user who can search the Postini
archive
• Set up TLS (Transport Layer Security)
Configuration Settings Documents
A Configuration Settings document governs mail routing for a Domino server. You
can use a single document to govern all your Domino servers, different
documents to govern different groups of servers, or a separate document for each
server. The server mail rules you use to define journaling are configured within the
Configuration Settings document for each server on which you want to journal
messages. We recommend using a single Configuration Settings document. You
can create that document ahead of time, or during the process of configuring you
Domino server for journaling.
Server Mail Rules
You create rules that determine which messages are journaled. You can create a
rule that causes all messages to be journaled, or you can create more granular
rules to journal only certain types of messages, like messages from specific
employees to specific customers. Make some determination about the types of
messages you want to journal before you begin configuring your mail rules.
Adjust Mail Database Quotas
Journaling email messages consumes additional Domino Server resources. You
can mitigate some of that impact by setting quotas on individual mail file
databases. As mail files grow, access to those files consumes more processor,
memory, disk I/O, and network-bandwidth resources. Setting quotas on those files
can help reduce their demands on server resources.
When you provide Domino users with access to the Personal Archive, messages
are stored in and are available from the Personal Archive, eliminating a lot of the
need to store messages on your Domino servers. You can then safely set smaller
quotas for mail file databases.

area of the IBM Web Site:
