How do i exclude particular emails received by a sender from not being Archived by my EV journaling server.

I have an application server which sends mail on an average of 10000 mails per hour and due to which my journal mailbox receive those mails and while EV archiving tries to journal those mails it slows the other mails from getting journal.

I am looking for option in EV where i can exclude this senders email address from been archived by EV journaling server so that i can create a rule in outlook and delete them or move them to delted items folder.

Check out rob Wilcox selective journaling article https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/selective-journaling-enterprise-vault

Maybe it would be easier to move this mailbox to a new exchange store, which you do not journal... ?
This way, you can relieve EV as well as Exchange from the journal-overhead-burden.

I fully endorse my article :)

Yup and in exchange 2010 you can simply specify a transport rule so he doesn't get journaled which takes up less resources than a selective journal

Thanks Everyone for help, but i am bit confused in Selective journaling. I will explain what exactly i am trying to do here.

For e.g.
User@company.com is sending mail to to other users in the same enviroment.

My Moto is that i need to exlcude it from being Archived from Journal mailbox by EV server.

So i will create rule file a Unicode file called SelectiveJournal_config.dat,

And add rule as exact:user@company.com
and create the registry key SelectiveJournal.SJFilter and HardDeleteItems.  respectively in their location.

And restart all the service in my EV server will this acheive my moto or will defeat it.

If you have a test enviroonment just test it and see what happens after all with something like the selective journal you can do a lot of damage just putting it in straight to a live environment without havin tested it first

Thats the issue i dont have a test enviroment to test it and hence want to make sure if the parameter which i am trying to set is correct and wont cause any issue.
