How to plan installing SMTP Archiving
You need to install the Enterprise Vault SMTP Archiving components on each Enterprise Vault server that is to archive SMTP messages using the SMTP Archiving feature. On each Enterprise Vault SMTP server there must be adequate space for the local SMTP holding folder.
When you configure SMTP Archiving, the Enterprise Vault SMTP server settings and target configuration information are shared with all the Enterprise Vault SMTP servers in the site. This means that any Enterprise Vault SMTP server in the site can archive messages sent to any SMTP target in the site.
If there is a large volume of SMTP messages for journaling, it is advisable to spread the archiving load over several Enterprise Vault storage servers. You can do this by creating several journal archives in different vault stores. A different Enterprise Vault Storage service should manage each of the vault stores.
If messages containing target SMTP addresses are liable to be stored in several archives, then you may want to ensure that single instance storage is implemented. Check which vault store is used for each of the target archives. You also need to check the vault store sharing that is set for each of the vault stores.
