Rapid Service Activation and Setup

The McAfee SaaS Email Archiving service offers a quick, easy setup and activation process which requires no hardware or software integration.  As a fully-managed service, McAfee SaaS Email Archiving is also highly scalable to meet the needs of your business without the threat of technology obsolescence.

1. To begin the service setup, emails can be loaded using McAfee SaaS Directory Integration to sync automatically with the customer's Active Directory.  Going forward, administrators can use Directory Integration to synchronize information on an automated schedule, ranging from one to four times per day, or they can choose to initiate a manual sync.
2. With the user information in place, service administrators then setup transport security on the Exchange server(s) and connect their systems to McAfee SaaS.
3. Our journaling feature records a copy, or journal, of all sent and received email messages processed by the Exchange server.  Envelope journaling ensures that BCC and distribution list recipients are captured and archived.
4. The Exchange server sends this copied email to a dedicated mailbox called the journal recipient mailbox, which resides on the Exchange server.  Message Archiving then retrieves your email from this journal recipient mailbox and archives it.
5. Once activated, McAfee SaaS polls each mail source every 15 minutes to check for available messages, which are then pulled into redundant, off-site archives.
