Journaling Public Folders

Hi-
I'm running X2K3SP2 at multiple sites, journaling all mail to and from my
mailbox stores to one mailbox. This mailbox is archived every minute by my
EMC EmailXtender server. The result is I have a good "paper trail" of all
email communications...except...
What can I do about public folders. I've got several mail enabled public
folders which I would also like to journal. Any suggestions appreciated!!!!

Your EMC product should be journaling SMTP which would (as you are
aware) capture all things properly and safely.
Go and slap the moron who sold you the product without listening to
your requirements.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. EMC's EX is only archiving mail from mailboxes
I specify. All journaling is being handled by the exchange servers as
defined in the Mailbox Store's General tab. Unfortunately the option to
"Archive all messages sent or received by mailboxes on this store" is not
available for public folder store containers. Checking smtp protocol options
hasn't yielded anything encouraging either. As Exchange is responsible for
all mail traffic, I am hopeful that there is some facility for journaling
pf's within the standard framework of exchange. I'd rather not have to code
this. Thanks again.
