How MailMeter Archive Works
MailMeter Archive is a software application that runs on a Windows Server (real or virtual). It collects emails from the standard journaling interface on your email server (Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, Ipswitch IMail, SeattleLab SLMail Pro) and deletes them when they are secured in the archive. There are options for capturing messages from the existing mailboxes (History Capture) and from PSTs and NSFs (PST / NSF Import).
All components of a message - header, recipients, message body, and attachments are captured into the MailMeter Archive SQL database and Archive Volumes. The SQL database must have full-text indexing activated.
Archived messages and attachments are de-duplicated, compressed, encrypted, given GUID names then stored in Archive Volumes (Windows folders) that can be located on any low cost, storage device - local disk, SAN, NAS, USB, etc. The Archive Volumes are managed to a size of 4G. New ones are created automatically as needed. Archive Volumes only need to be backed up once when they are full and closed (contents don't change).
Messages are secured and protected in the MailMeter Archive. The administrator can delete emails by date for record retention. There is also an optional Retention Manager for a more granular control over message destruction by mailbox and by individual messages.
