Steps to configure SMTP Archiving

To configure SMTP Archiving, you must log in using the Vault Service account, or an account that is assigned to the SMTP Administrator role. The SMTP Administrator role is also included in the Messaging Administrator role and the Power Administrator role.

See "Roles-based administration" in the Administrator's Guide.

Table: Steps to configure SMTP Archiving outlines the tasks required to configure SMTP Archiving. Detailed instructions are given in the sections indicated.

You can perform all of the steps manually, or perform Steps 1 and 2, and then use a configuration wizard to guide you through Steps 3 through 5.

To start the SMTP Archiving configuration wizard

  1. Perform Step 1 and 2 as listed in Table: Steps to configure SMTP Archiving.
  2. In the Administration Console, right-click the SMTP container under Targets, and select New > Target Email Address.

    The configuration wizard starts and guides you through Steps 3, 4, and 5.

    When configuring SMTP target addresses, you are asked to select an archive, the required retention settings, and the SMTP archiving policy that you configured in Steps 1 and 2.

See Configuring retention categories and SMTP policies.

Step 3

Configure the SMTP server settings for all Enterprise Vault SMTP servers in the site.

See Configuring the Enterprise Vault SMTP Servers in the site.

You can perform Steps 3 through 5 manually, as described in the sections that are referenced. Alternatively, you can use the configuration wizard.

See “To start the SMTP Archiving configuration wizard”.

Step 4

Adding SMTP target addresses.

See Adding SMTP target addresses.

Step 5

See Adding an SMTP Archiving task.

This section describes how to perform these steps using the Enterprise Vault Administration Console. Alternatively, you can perform the configuration tasks using the Enterprise Vault PowerShell cmdlets for SMTP Archiving. The cmdlets are particularly useful for tasks such as adding a large number of SMTP target addresses.

See About the PowerShell cmdlets for SMTP Archiving.

Whether you are using the Administration Console or Enterprise Vault PowerShell cmdlets, you should perform the configuration steps in the order shown.
