The Journaling agent is a compliance-focused agent that you can configure to journal e-mail messages that are sent or received by departments or individuals in your Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization, to and from recipients outside your organization, or both. A journal rule defines how widely the Journaling agent looks for messages to journal. You can target the journal rule to the following scopes.

Internal

To apply the journal rule to messages that are sent and received by recipients inside the Exchange 2007 organization, select Internal.

External

To apply the journal rule to messages that are sent to recipients or from senders outside the Exchange 2007 organization, select External.

Global

To apply the journal rule to process all messages that pass through a Hub Transport server, select Global. This includes e-mail messages that were already processed by the external and internal rules.
