Is there a way to Exclude *wav files from the Journal Archive?

CCCIT
Level 3

Voicemail for our company will soon be stored in the mailbox with *wav files, and I dont these messages to be archived by our journal mailbox.  All voicemail messages that I need to exclude come from a particular email address. This may be an easier task, but I still haven't found anything on it.I see that the Journal Archive Policy is very basic with no advanced options.  I have created a rule in the journal mailbox to delete messages from the voicemail email address but the journal mailbox ignores the rule and archives the message anyway.  I have also gone into the Journal mailbox account on the Exchange server  and under -Message Delivery Restrictions-  I added the voicemail email to the  -Reject messages from- and that still doesnt work.  Any help is much appriciated.

Yep, JW2 is right.  I set this up for a customer a while back.

Your rule would like this:

<RULE NAME="DeleteJPGs" ATTACHMENT_ACTION="REMOVE">
<AUTHOR INCLUDES="ANY">
    <EA>vm.emai@mycompany.com</EA>
  </AUTHOR>  <FILES>
    <FILE FILENAME="*.WAV"/>
  </FILES>
</RULE>

or to catch all voicemails in case some fowards one, like this:

<RULE NAME="DeleteVM" ATTACHMENT_ACTION="REMOVE">
  <FILES>
    <FILE FILENAME="*.WAV"/>
  </FILES>
</RULE>

So you have some options.

Really not that intimidating at all once you dive into it.  Be sure to read up on how to implement it:

OK I created this Custom properties.xml file, placed in the Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules directory,  and restarted the archiving tasks.  Is there a way for me see if this filter is working? (i mean without staring a journal mailbox while tons of messages flow into it... :) 

<RULE_SET xmlns="x-schema:ruleset schema.xdr"> 

<RULE NAME="Delete_VM" ATTACHMENT_ACTION="REMOVE">
 <AUTHOR INCLUDES="ANY">
     <EA>vm.emai@mycompany.com </EA>
     <EA>vwav@mycompany.com </EA>
   </AUTHOR>  <FILES>
     <FILE FILENAME="*.WAV"/>
   </FILES>
 </RULE> 

</RULE_SET>

 

thanks

You could search the journal mailbox for mail from that user and see if the attachments have been stripped.

Just use the webapp search.  http://evserver/enterprisevault/search.asp

 

The sytnax looks ok but the file needs to be named: Default Filter Rules.xmlI missed that you had named it that earlier.

Also, read thru these series of technotes Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO37055

ok i will test that this weekend.  Ill rename the file and to test quickly, I will:

1) add the Default Filter Rules.xml                   and    in the Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules directory,

2) restart the all the archiving tasks

3) open Archive Explorer to verifiy its using the .xml file?

Don't user Archive Explorer, use the WebApp search.  It will be easier.
