Use the General tab on the Journaling Rule Properties to view or modify the selected journal rule. A journal rule defines how widely the Journaling agent looks for messages to journal.

Scope
-
This field specifies whether the journal rule is applied to internal recipients and senders only, to external recipients and senders only, or to both. Select one of the following:
-
Global Global rules process all e-mail messages that pass through a computer that has the Hub Transport server role installed. This includes messages that may have already been processed by External rules and Internal rules.
-
Internal Internal rules process e-mail messages that are sent and received by recipients in the organization.
-
External External rules process e-mail messages that are sent to recipients or from senders outside the organization.
-
Journal messages for recipient
-
This field specifies the mailbox, contact, or distribution group that contains the recipients or senders that you want to journal.
To target a specific recipient or distribution group, select the Journal e-mail for recipient check box and then click Browse in the same field. In the Select Recipient window, select the mailbox, contact, or distribution group that you want to journal, and then click OK.
To journal all e-mail messages for the whole organization, leave this field blank.
-
Enable Rule
-
This field determines if a journal rule is enabled or disabled. If a journal rule is disabled, it won't be applied to any e-mail messages. If you want the rule to be created in a disabled state, clear the Enable Rule check box. Otherwise, leave Enable Rule selected.
