How Does Domino Server Journaling Work?

Before you enable journaling, you create a Mail Journaling database, which uses
a Postini database template. The Postini template contains the code that
implements the Postini Journaling Agent. The Mail Journaling database can be
local to a server, or you can create a remote database used by one or more
servers.

When journaling is enabled, email that passes through the MAIL.BOX database
on a Domino server is examined to see which messages meet the criteria for
journaling. Messages that meet those criteria are copied to a Domino Mail
Journaling database.

The Postini Journaling Agent periodically forwards journaled messages from the
Mail Journaling database to your Postini Archive, and then deletes those
messages from the Mail Journaling database.
