Enterprise Vault™ Installing and Configuring

You must install the Enterprise Vault SMTP Archiving component on each Enterprise Vault server that is to perform SMTP archiving.

Make sure that the required port for SMTP is open on each Enterprise Vault SMTP server.

You must install an SMTP archiving license (EVSMTPArchiving) on each Enterprise Vault server that is to perform SMTP archiving. If you plan to implement SMTP Mailbox Journaling, you need to install both an EVSMTPArchiving license and an EVArchive license on each Enterprise Vault SMTP server. Enterprise Vault cannot archive data from SMTP targets, if valid licenses are not installed.

Administrators who are to manage SMTP Archiving using the Administration Console need the Enterprise Vault SMTP Administrator role. This role is included in the Enterprise Vault Messaging Administrator and Enterprise Vault Power Administrator roles.

If you intend to secure SMTP connections using SSL, you must obtain an SSL certificate to authenticate the Enterprise Vault servers to which MTAs will connect. You can use a single certificate that authenticates multiple servers, or use a separate certificate for each.

See the Setting up SMTP Archiving guide.

Local disk space is required on the Enterprise Vault SMTP server for the SMTP holding folder. The SMTP service accepts messages and places them as EML files in this folder. The SMTP Archiving task then processes the messages and archives those that contain SMTP target addresses. When you create the SMTP Archiving task, you specify its SMTP holding folder. The holding folder location is displayed in the properties of the SMTP Archiving task.

The Vault Service account must have full access to the SMTP holding folder. For security, other accounts should not have access to this folder.

Ensure that virus scanning software excludes this folder. MTAs that send the messages to Enterprise Vault should perform virus scanning of the messages.

To ensure that Enterprise Vault processes journal reports (P1 messages) correctly, these messages must comply with the format described in the following article:

Note that SMTP Archiving does not currently process the journal report information in messages that are journaled by Domino Server.

If you are implementing SMTP Archiving but not Exchange Server archiving, you do not need to install Outlook on the Enterprise Vault SMTP server.

However, Outlook is required on the Enterprise Vault server if you plan to export archived items in MAPI format, for example, using the Export to PST feature in Discovery Accelerator. If the Storage service that manages the archived items is hosted on a separate Enterprise Vault server, then Outlook must be installed on that server.
