Journaling in Exchange Server 2007

Journaling in Exchange Server 2007 has been enhanced with new features. Exchange Server 2003 offers a new approach to journal specific recipients, distribution lists, or public folders. 

Exchange Server 2007 provides four levels of Journaling scope:

2)  External scope journals messages sent to or from the selected recipient and the outside organization.

3)  Global scope journals all the messages for selected recipients.
