Connect Process - 5. Journaling Configuration (if subscribed)

Configuring Journaling (if subscribed) explained

Dear Primary Contact,

This graphic illustrates the steps required to connect your infrastructure to Mimecast. If you'd like more information click the image to visit our knowledge base. Green indicates your current step, while gray indicates completed steps.



To ensure a copy of your internal messages are sent to Mimecast and stored in your archive, you'll need to set up Journaling in your environment. As part of our standard implementation process, we've already configured a default journal connector for you in your Mimecast Account. If you don't use Exchange, Office 365 or Google Apps, you'll need to investigate alternative options with your mail service provider.

Next Steps

1. Depending on the version of the mail environment you're running you may have several different configuration options in this regard, which are detailed here.

2. Ensure that your firewall allows outbound traffic to the Mimecast data center IP ranges.

3. Configure the journaling steps as required for in your email environment, and ensure all the required mail stores have the appropriate configuration in place. Use the following hostnames when setting up journaling:

us-smtp-journal-1.mimecast.com
us-smtp-journal-2.mimecast.com


4. Log in to the Administration Console and select "Journaling" from the Services menu to review the status of your connector and ensure that it is processing traffic.

Once our systems detect that journaling has been configured on your account, we'll send you the details for your next step.

Please respond to this email if you have any questions about this step.

Kind regards,

Mimecast North America, Inc.
