Complete the MailArchiva Installation as described in the MailArchiva Administration Guide. The MailArchiva Administration Guide is included in the MailArchiva Download package.

-- Configuring NeonInsight Server -- NeonInsight will use what is commonly called a CopyAll , AlwaysBCC , or Journaling account to deliver email to MailArchiva.

1) Create an account within your domain to act as a CopyAll account. All email will be copied to this account for later pickup by the MailArchiva server. Ie: archiver-a1@example.net

2) Open /opt/neonInsight/etc/neon/neonconfig.xml with a text editor:

Find the item which defines the “From-Amavis” service, edit the copyall-address on this item. Specifying the user you created above. Before: copyall-addresses="" After: copyall-addresses=”archiver-a1@example.net”

Note: Specifying the copyall-address on the From-Amavis listener ensures that emails are not Archived until they have passed Amavis. If you have configured your server not to use Amavis you may wish to specify the copyall-address on another item instead.

3) Save the File, then Restart neon neonInsight shell /etc/init.d/neon restart
