If anybody cares, I found an answer to the TNEF-encoded problem with messages created by the archive sink. The solution was here: http://www.exchangenewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.exchange.misc/topic 366.aspx Cliff note: Enable post-cat archiving. A pain though because turning post-cat on for the outbound mapi-gateway messages also causes inbound messages to be archived twice, even with pre-cat archiving turned off. Nothing a little scripting can't solve, though. Carl

I mean, it seems silly to provide an archiving feature or program that produces a file that's not searchable. This problem must have been solved before. Carl _____ From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 7:09 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: "Journaling" a mail-enabled public folder That's typical. You need to be able to decode TNEF to understand most Exchange e-mail messages. Regards, Michael B.

I'm seeing major amounts of binary garbage in body of the .eml files in the "Mapi-Gateway Messages" folder. The basic headers look fine, then just before the body there's a line or two, which contains some of the same info in the headers and recognizable as unicode text, as well as some binary stuff not recognizable at all. Then the body of the message in HTML. Then more binary stuff and unicode text at the end. By "unicode text" I mean my subject line appeared like this: "T e s t i n g 1 2 3" (not prefixed by any "Subject:" word or anything so I think maybe this section is raw MAPI headers? And these EML files don't display correctly in something designed to open EML files, e.g. Outlook Express. Carl _____ From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 4:58 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: "Journaling" a mail-enabled public folder I apologize - yes, I thought it would lead you to the archive sink. That is what you are looking for, I believe. I don't always keep up with the changes in the various websites I recommend. My bad. Yes, synchronous sinks slow down flow. Not just delivery, but they effectively single-thread the categorizer. If you aren't a high-volume e-mail shop (I mean hundreds of e-mails per minute) then it likely isn't a problem.

Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Carl Houseman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 4:47 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: "Journaling" a mail-enabled public folder OK let's go with the concept of "Event sinks are synchronous". Why should I care? Because they slow down mail delivery? On CDOLive, I'm seeing a whole bunch of references to Exchange 5.5. Most of the links that look interesting try to take me to a KB article that no longer exists. For example at http://www.cdolive.com/kb.htm there's a link " <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=254767> XGEN: How to Install and Use the Exchange Server Archive Sink" which wants to go to KB article 254767 - no such article. But at least that got me a new keyword to google with - isn't this exactly what I'm looking for?: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/871110 "How to install and use the Archive Sink utility in Exchange Server 2003" Carl _____ From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 4:01 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: "Journaling" a mail-enabled public folder Look on CDOLive. They used to have lots of that kinda stuff. You are aware that those are synchronous, right? Regards, Michael B.

Sending them to another mailbox, appending them to a file, either would work fine. It looks like a CDO.ISMTPOnArrival event sink is the ticket. Anyone have a VBscript example that does such a thing? thanks, Carl ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
