Use the examples included in this article to simplify troubleshooting.
Option 1. Configure Journaling via Script
- Go to the Mail Sources > SMTP Journaling page.
- Go to Journaling Setup Scripts > Exchange 2013 or newer - Premium Journaling.
- Click Show Script to copy the script to your clipboard, or click Download to save the PowerShell script to your local system.
- Open Exchange PowerShell, and run the script to configure Microsoft Exchange Server 2013+ to journal mail to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service.
Option 2. Manually Configure Journaling
Use the following steps to manually create a remote domain from the Exchange Management PowerShell.
Before proceeding, verify that you have your journaling address from the Mail Sources > SMTP Journaling page in the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service web interface.
Use your region-specific MAS hostname, for example: mas.barracudanetworks.com
See Data Centers by Region for a list of region-specific MAS hostnames.
- Log into the Exchange Server, and click Exchange Management Shell.
- Execute the following command to create the remote domain; this command ensures TNEF encoding is disabled and auto-forwarding is enabled, where mas.barracudanetworks.com represents the domain in your journaling address:
New-RemoteDomain -DomainName mas.barracudanetworks.com -Name "Cloud Archiver Domain"
Get-RemoteDomain | Where {$_.DomainName -eq "mas.barracudanetworks.com"} | Set-RemoteDomain -TNEFEnabled $false -AutoForwardEnabled $true - Enter the following command to verify the settings:
Get-RemoteDomain | Where {$_.DomainName -eq "mas.barracudanetworks.com"} |Format-table Name, DomainName, TNEFEnabled, AutoForwardEnabled
This command ensures TNEF encoding is disabled and auto-forwarding is enabled. Barracuda Networks recommends disabling TNEF encoding. Auto-forwarding is enabled to allow mail for the contact to be forwarded to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service.
