E-mail journaling

Journaling is used to comply with legal, regulatory and organizational requirements by keeping track of messages sent and/or received by all - or a selection of - domain users.

Communications are saved in a journal and transferred to a dedicated mailbox.

Journaling definition

The first step in setting up email journaling is to define:

  • Mailbox to be journalized
  • Journaling scope: incoming and/or outgoing emails
  • Journaling mailbox: the location where journaling messages will be kept

Setting up journaling

To set up journaling in BlueMind, select the domain and go to the "Mailflow rules" tab.

Click "Add Rule/Actions assignment" then "Add action".

Then:

  • Choose a rule from the list
  • Type a description (optional)
  • Choose to execute continuous action
  • Choose whether you want to journal outgoing, incoming or all messages
  • Specify the journaling mailbox
  • Specify mailboxes for journaling (optional)

Viewing the journal

Journaled mailboxes' sent and/or received emails - depending on your setup - can be viewed in the journaling mailbox.

Emails continue to be sent/received in journaled users' mailboxes.

tip

When a journaled user moves or deletes a message, the message can still be viewed in the journaling mailbox.
