Message rule for ALL sent and received messages

[Frank]

Per Federal guidelines, we must archive all messages sent and received
for a specific group of people. As a temporary fix, we plan to use
message rules, but I see no good way to get all messages.

For sent, the best I can come up with is to set up three rules to CC:
to a mail box -- one for low, one for medium, and one for high.

For received, I'll just use "Where my name is in the To: or Cc: box."

I know this seems a silly question, but I fear I'm missing something.
Will these catch everything?

thx . . .

If you create rules with no conditions at all, they'll apply to all
messages.

What's your mail server? If it's Exchange, it has message journaling built
in.

Thanks Sue. I've run this by the Exchange Administrator, and he
didn't mention journaling. I'll try him again.

So, if I create rules with no conditions, will it apply to all
messages both sent and received? I'll have to find time to do some
testing today. Thx.

Rules for received and sent messages are always separate, regardless of the
conditions or actions. You can't make one rule do both.

Sue, thanks for the response, but it appears that message journaling
is an all-or-nothing proposition. We don't want to archive all 1200
users. We just have about a dozen that *have* to be.

thx . . . frank
