Configured archive connectors

Archive connectors Connectors define the interface to an external archive system such as the file system.

Profiles One or more profiles are created within a connector. It can be used to set properties such as the exact storage location for emails and documents. In addition, the metadata of emails is mapped to metadata of the archive system, if necessary.

NOTE: Emails are archived as they are received by NoSpamProxy. NoSpamProxy does not perform encryption or decryption, nor does NoSpamProxy upload attachments to the Web Portal. Note that emails are only archived if NoSpamProxy does not reject the email. If, for example, the malware scanner responds or the email cannot be decrypted, the respective email is not archived.
