How to Journal to the Cloud Archiving Service from Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Newer - Premium Journaling

  • Last updated on

Note that Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service follows the lifecycle policy of each supported vendor and does not guarantee support for versions that are end of life or end of support as indicated by the product vendor.

This article refers to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service, and a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 or newer environment utilizing Premium Journaling with a Journal Rule and Exchange Enterprise Client Access Licenses (CALs).

If your Exchange environment does not support Premium Journaling, see the article How to Journal to the Cloud Archiving Service from Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Newer - Standard Journaling.

Note: If you have not completed the initial setup and user configuration, see the Getting Started section to activate the service and add users:

Use the examples included in this article to simplify troubleshooting.

Option 1. Configure Journaling via Script

  1. Go to the Mail Sources > SMTP Journaling page.
  2. Go to Journaling Setup Scripts > Exchange 2013 or newer - Premium Journaling.
  3. Click Show Script to copy the script to your clipboard, or click Download to save the PowerShell script to your local system.
  4. 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.

  1. Log into the Exchange Server, and click Exchange Management Shell.
  2. 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 $true
  3. Enter the following command to verify the settings:
    Get-RemoteDomain | Where {$_.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.

Create Alternate Email Address for NDR Delivery

  1. In the EAC, click recipients in the left pane, select mailboxes at the top of the page, and then click the + symbol to create an alternate journaling mailbox:

  2. In the new user mailbox page, enter details for the alternate journaling mailbox:
    journal_ndr.jpg
  3. Click save. The new mailbox displays in the mailboxes list:
    journal_ndr2.jpg

 

Hide Alternate Contact from GAL

Barracuda Networks recommends hiding the alternate mail contact from the GAL; to do so, with the new mailbox still selected, click the Edit (edit_icon.jpg) icon. In the general page, turn on Hide from address lists:

Create Send Connector for the Remote Domain

To route journaled mail that is sent to the contact to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service, use the following steps to create a Send Connector for the Remote Domain:

  1. Open the EAC, click mail flow in the left pane, select send connectors at the top of the page, and click the + symbol to create a new send connector:

  3. Click next. (Recommended) In the Network settings page, select MX record associated with recipient domain.

    If you need to route mail through a smart host, contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support.
