• If the message is sent to or received from: Select "Everyone".
• Journal the following messages: Select "All messages".
Step 4: Save the Rule
Click Save to activate the journaling rule.
Option 2: Using Exchange Management Shell (PowerShell)
Step 1: Open Exchange Management Shell
Step 2: Run the following command to create the journaling rule:
All Emails to Jatheon" -JournalEmailAddress "a85ffd43272d476e96aa9cf829fd7.journalmaster.001@cloud.jatheon.com" -Scope Global -Enabled $true -Recipient "All"
Replace "a85ffd43272d476e96aa9cf829fd7.journalmaster.001@cloud.jatheon.com " with the journaling email address you were provided while creating the Jatheon Cloud account.. This rule will journal all messages sent or received by all users.
Notes
• Journaling rules take effect immediately after creation.
• You must configure an external SMTP mail contact before creating the rule.
• Ensure that the external address is properly routed through a Send Connector that supports delivery to the journaling destination (e.g., Jatheon).
