Many organizations are obligated by legal, regulatory, or business process requirements to process, filter, modify, and store e-mail messages that are transferred to and from the organization and the Internet, and also to internal communications between individuals in the organization.
The transport policy and compliance infrastructure of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides a set of rules that govern how e-mail messages are stored and processed based on a set of requirements. The following agents help you comply with these legal, regulatory, and business process requirements more easily:
- Transport Rules agent This agent
enables rules-based management of e-mail messages that are sent to
and received from internal and external recipients and senders.
- Journaling agent This agent enables you
to record all e-mail messages that are sent to and received from
internal and external recipients and senders.
Using Exchange Hosted
Services
Transport policy and compliance features are enhanced by or are also available as a service from Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services. Exchange Hosted Services is a set of four distinct hosted services:
- Hosted Filtering, which helps organizations protect themselves
from e-mail-borne malware
- Hosted Archive, which helps them satisfy retention requirements
for compliance
- Hosted Encryption, which helps them encrypt data to preserve
confidentiality
- Hosted Continuity, which helps them preserve access to e-mail
during and after emergency situations
These services integrate with any on-premise Exchange servers that are managed in-house or Hosted Exchange e-mail services that are offered through service providers. For more information about Exchange Hosted Services, see Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services.
