The company I used to work for implemented this solution, and if I remember quite well, it was a nightmare to get it working this was about 2yr ago, but would have thought they have sorted this out in newer versions. My big question is cost, because somehow GFI Marc v3 still appears to be good value, but not quite sure it does all I want.

The whole idea is to take away email management from users and hopefully get rid of PST nightmares. We currently have GFI Mailarchiver up and running in evaluation mode, but somehow we found it did not quite fully our needs. The concept I understand is that MailArc v3.0 takes a copy of mails sent or received and stores in on an SQL server. Our problem is that users still have to go in and tidy up /free up space on their mailbox. We were kinda hoping that MailArc v3.0 would do that for you. Anyone got alternative? I do know symantec do Enterprise Vault. anyone used that yet? Is MS thinking of coming up with a solution for Archiving mails besides PST? Help Dave --------------------------------- Yahoo!
