ev11.0.1 smtp journal archiving - seperating
Hello all,
Suppose I have 10 sites worldwide. Suppose I configure the respective Exchange to journal messages using smtp to a central ev site performing only journal archiving. Suppose I have the need to seperate the archived items to site specific smtp archive (in a journal store). How would that be configured?
We might have 3 EV servers performing Journal SMTP archiving. Each server will have access to a journal partition on an HCP device using the streamer. Should I have 3 partitions (namespaces) , or just 1, and have all 3 servers write to the 1 namespace?
Should I then configure an unique smtp-targetaddress on each Exchange site?
like evsmtpus.domain.com, evsmtpusa.domain.com, evuss.domain.com
Then use address rewriting on EACH ev server to perform the split?
evsmtpus.domain.com:alias GenericUS (define archive 1)
evsmtpusa.domain.com:alias NorthAM (dfine archive 2)
evsmptuss.domain.com:alias SouthAM (define archive 3)
archive 1, 2 and 3 will be in each be in a seperate journalstore, all in one journal vault store group.
How would you do this? Anyone experience in a similar setup?
Reason for asking is different retention requirements, and allowing DA acess to specific archives.
Thanks.
Gertjan!
We figured we're going to use the domain part of the smtp reciever address as seperator.
like :
evsmtp@us.domain.local
evsmtp@ap.domain.local
evsmtp@eu.domain.local
The rewriting will be done to determine the archive to be used if we need multiple smtp archiving servers.
