autodelete journal recipient emails after 7 days
We have Journaling enabled for the entire company so it logs a copy of all messages in a seperate journaling mailbox. i know on our old exchange 2003 server we had it setup to autodelete emails after 7 days so the mailbox wouldnt get to big, but on our new exchange 2007 server it is not configured that way and i cannot find where to set that up. is that a EMC setting or is it only a EMS cmdlet that can be used?

Hi, You can use managed custom folder feature in Exchange 2007.Please create managed default folder and apply your retention settings on that. Please note you must have Exchange Enterprise CALs for managed folders.

ok it looks like the consultant who setup/installed our exchange 2007 server created a Managed folder mailbox policy. if i check the properties of that policy i see under managed folders that are associated with this policy: folder: mail archive decsription: Managed Default Folder Folder type: Deleted Items now if i go to my users mailbox that is setup for journaling and go under mailbox settings>messaging records management i see the following: check box next to managed folder mailbox policy in that field it has mail archive. there is no check box for Enable retention hold for items in the mailbox. if i check that box then i have the option to check the boxes for start date and end date. i guess i dont understand how i can enable it so email older than 7 days is permanently deleted automatically?
