In order to archive the full mail delivery information such as SMTP MAIL FROM, list of actual recipients, Blind Carbon Copy recipients etc, you have to enable Envelope journaling on your Exchange Server.
You can use either the Exejcfg or the ADSI editor tool to enable envelope journaling.
Method1 - Using the Exejcfg.exe tool
You can download the exejcfg.exe tool from the Microsoft website. Go to the Microsoft search page and type the name 'exejcfg' to find the location. Once you have downloaded and unzipped it to a directory:
- RDP to your Domain Controller or from the Console...
- Open the command prompt
- Navigate to the directory in which you unzipped the tool
- Type exejcfg -e and press Enter to enable Envelope Journaling
Note: exejcfg -d disables Envelope Journaling for that organization
Method 2 - Using the ADSI editor
You can also use ADSI editor (ADSIEdit.msc - Active Directory Services Interface) to enable Envelope Journaling. This tool can be found in the Windows Server 2003 support tools and Windows 2000 Server resource kit. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the ADSIEdit.msc console
- Expand Configuration Container > CN=Services > CN=Microsoft Exchange, right-click on the CN=<ORGANIZATION_NAME> node and click Properties to bring up the properties dialog
Figure 1 - Editing the heuristics attribute value

From the Property to view list select heuristics and enter a value of 512 in the Edit Attribute text box.
-
Press the Set button
- Click OK and close the ADSIEdit console.
Note: A value of 512 is used to enable Envelope Journaling, and a value of 0 is used to disable it.
