Exchange journaling is often required for the purposes of regulatory compliance, data retention etc.
Exchange Server 2007 supports envelope journaling – as you can see in the video bellow, the original message is wrapped in a journaling envelope. This allows you to see the sender and all recipients, including BCC recipients and recipients in distribution lists.
In addition, you can choose between two types of journaling in Exchange Server 2007 -standard and premium.
Standard journaling (the so called per-Mailbox journaling) is enabled per mailbox database and all messages sent to/from addresses on that database are journaled. As you can see in our demo, the destination (journal) mailbox should reside on a database which is not being journaled.
Premium journaling can target an Internal scope, External scope, Global scope and specific Journal recepients and we will demonstrate it in a separate Screencast.
In the following Step-by-Step video tutorial, we demonstrate how to configure Standard (per-Mailbox) Journaling to a trusted (locked down) mailbox in Exchange Server 2007 SP1.
