QuestionJournaling in SBS 2003

    For federal compliance for a client of mine I need to set up email journaling on a SBS 2003 box. I have many many articles on this for Exchange 2003 but none on Small Business Server 2003. Can someone please point me to an article on if/how I can perform this on SBS 2003 or if they have done so themselves how they accomplished this? Thank you.

    I suspect this is not possible on SBS, unless you journal for EVERYONE.  I don't have an SBS server in front of me right now.  On the properties of your mailbox database, is there a "Archive all messages...." checkbox?   Ordinarily, I create a separate mailbox store for the folks that need to be journaled, but I think SBS only allows one mailbox database.

    That is correct.  If you try to create a second store in ESM, it just says you're at your maximum.

    This was finally implemented using archive journaling through an additional SMTP connector.  Not the greatest, but it seems to work.  Also, now would like to see if it is possible to select mailboxes to archive or filter them at the SMTP connector, since not every user mailbox needs to be journaled.

    Hi rgaysa,
    I have the same situation that you, can you give me some details about how to create the additional smtp connector and how configure it to forward a copy of all outbound message to a 3rd party mail account. I have SBS 2003.
    Thanks in advance.

    Jerry, did I ever answer you on the journaling.  I have a document that explains it pretty well.

    Can you please provide some information on the journaling. I too am running SBS 2003. I have our existing mail server that I could create a fake domain name like domain.archive (mail.domain.archive) and then send the mail to that domain for archival purposes using SMTP connector.

    Can you please provide the document that explains this process.

    TIA

    I have the document I wrote.  Based on a compliance provider document for archive journaling.  Send me an email request to pmtech@milagro-technologies.com and I can send it to you.
