Next Steps
Now that you have verified the basic functionality of Message Archiving, you can
move on to develop an archiving strategy for your company. After deciding upon a
strategy and organizing the flow of messages into your archive, you can then
determine how you want to work with the contents of your archive.
Develop a Strategy
You can work with your Human Resources and Compliance teams to determine
the internal and legal obligations you need to meet, and work with the teams who
develop your company’s intellectual property to determine their needs for
maintaining a record of electronic communications.
Based upon those decisions, you can implement the type of archiving that
addresses those specific needs, and address any necessary organizational
changes to your message security service.
Types of Archiving
You have three types of archiving available to meet your company’s needs:
•
Inbound archiving: Stores all email messages that users receive from
outside your network.
•
Outbound archiving: Stores all email messages that users send to
addresses outside your network. Requires configuration of your message
security Outbound services.
•
Journal archiving: Stores all incoming, outgoing, and intradomain (internal)
email messages. Requires configuration your Microsoft Exchange or Lotus
Domino Server to journal messages, and configuration of Message Archiving
to accept incoming journaled messages from those servers.
You have already gone through the process of setting up inbound archiving for a
user org.
For more information about setting up outbound archiving and the Outbound
services, and journal archiving and journaling on your mail servers, see:
New Org Structures
As you identify the users for whom you need to archive messages, you might find
that you need to amend your org structure. For more information about working
with orgs, see:
