Archive connectors

Via the archive interface, emails and qualified signed documents can be transferred to an external archive system. Currently supported are the file system, an archive mailbox and d.velop d.3. It is possible to use multiple archive systems in parallel.

The configuration of an archive connector comprises two areas:

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.

Configuring archive connectors

1. Go to Configuration > Connected systems > Archive connectors.
2. Click Add.
3. Select the archive system and enter a name for the connector.
   
4. Make the appropriate configuration for the selected archive system and click Next.
   • When storing emails and documents in the file system, you only need to specify a path. Emails and documents are stored in folders below this path.
     
   • The connector for the journaling mailbox has no other settings on the connector. The profiles are displayed directly.
   • For a connector to a d.velop d.3 system you only have to specify a path. Emails and documents are written into this directory and are retrieved from this directory by the d.velop d.3 system.
     
5. (Optional) Create profiles for the connector.

   NOTE: The content of the profile configuration page depends on your licencing model and the selected archive system.

   TIP: Profiles allow you, for example, to distribute emails and documents to different folders within an archive system. Give the new profile a name and specify which emails are archived by this profile. Note that emails with a qualified signed attachment are always archived. You also have the option of archiving all other emails.

   

   • Make general settings for the profile (see screenshot)

   • Configure the archive subfolder (file system) or the mailbox address (journaling mailbox). No further settings are required for d.veleop d.3.

   • Define the pattern of the email address for which emails are to be archived.

   • (Optional) Assign the metadata of the emails you want to archive to the desired archive properties.
     

     NOTE: Different archive properties are available depending on the target system.
