Hopefully, a couple easy questions about archiving messages 1

[kyros]

We are moving from Exchange 5.5 to 2003 this weekend. I know... Merry friggin Christmas!

2 things I can't seem to find an easy answer to that I can do in 5.5 & want to do in 2003.

1) Archive messages - With 5.5 I could easily turn on & archive all Internet in & outbound messages in their raw (text) format. It appears this is now done with either Archive Sink or Journaling, but it appears I'm not able to save the messages on disk in text format as in 5.5. They are either .eml (Archive sink) or routed to a mailbox as an email (Journaling). Am I correct or am I missing something? Is there a way to handle it like 5.5?

2)Replay a message -- With 5.5 I could use those archived messages to replay (resend)a message. Just plop the archived message out of the archive folder & into the in or out queue & they would be resent. How do I accomplish this same task with 2003?

check out GFI MailArchiver...very inexpensive and does pratically everything you want to do, plus it does archive your mail if needed for compliance. As for your question about Archiving, you got it..I'd recomend journaling (in any case, you'll have to enable journaling for the GFI product)

Journaling is quite different & less useful (I think) than what I'm used to with 5.5, but it sounds like it's the closest & only good way to go & thanks for the GFI tip.

What about replaying/resending emails through SMTP like you could through the IMC with 5.5? How is that accomplished?
