A journal rule defines the scope of messages to journal, the journaled recipient, and the journaling mailbox to which journal reports are delivered. You can use either the EMC or the Shell to view or configure a journal rule.
Important: |
---|
If you specify a distribution group as the journal recipient, messages sent to the distribution group, as well as messages sent and received by members of the distribution group, are journaled. |
These procedures describe how to configure premium journaling. To use premium journaling, you must have the Exchange Enterprise Client Access License (CAL). For more information, see Understanding Journaling.

Cautions
- If you don't specify a journal recipient in the Journal
messages for recipient field in the EMC or the Recipient
parameter of the journal rule when modifying it from the Shell,
journal reports are generated for all messages within the selected
scope. If you decide to not specify a journal recipient, we
recommend that you consider the increase in messaging traffic and
the storage requirements for the mailbox database where the
journaling mailbox is located.
- There are important security and resource considerations when
you configure the journaling mailbox that receives journal reports.
For more information, see Protecting Journal
Reports.
