About X-Headers

MTAs or third-party applications can add X-Headers to SMTP messages that are sent to Enterprise Vault. The format of X-Headers that are added to messages must conform to RFC 822. If non-ASCII characters are included in X-Headers, the encoding must conform to RFC 2047.

To ensure that Enterprise Vault recognizes these headers and adds them to the index for the message, you add the X-Headers to the X-Header list in the policy. Enterprise Vault treats all X-Header names and values are case-sensitive, so you must add them to the X-Header list exactly as they appear in the messages.

For each X-Header that you want to process, you specify the following information:

  • The X-Header name. For example, X-Company-ID.

  • The type of value that the X-Header contains; string, integer, or datetime.

  • Whether the X-Header can be included in Enterprise Vault search criteria; Searchable.

  • Whether the X-Header can be returned in search results; Retrievable.

A message can contain several instances of the same X-Header. Enterprise Vault indexes the first value only.

If you want to add multiple properties to messages for Enterprise Vault to index, then it may be more efficient to use the special Enterprise Vault X-Header, X-Kvs-IndexData.
