Specifying where to save archived messages

Your organization can maintain copies of the messages that violate specific policies. To use the archive feature, you must specify the action
Archive the message
when you create a content filtering policy.
You can also configure your archive email destination on a per-policy basis.
This feature can be useful to your organization in any of the following scenarios, just to name a few:
  • You want to prepare for a potential lawsuit against an employee or other organization
  • You must maintain records for regulatory compliance purposes
  • You want to retain records for certain groups of employees
When messages trigger a policy violation with the action to
Archive the message
, Symantec Messaging Gateway copies the messages. It sends the copy to one or both an email address that you specify or an archive server.
To archive messages, you must have Full Administration rights or rights to modify policies.
