The SMTP Archiving feature allows third-party applications to enter data into an Enterprise Vault archive via SMTP messages. It enables Enterprise Vault to capture and archive these messages at the point of delivery to a Microsoft SMTP Server (a server running the SMTP service included in Windows Server 2000 and later), and so operates independently of the messaging solution that you employ.
For example, you may have messaging or workflow applications in your organization that use SMTP to communicate with users or other applications. Increased compliance legislation may require you to archive such communication and make it available for auditing. Using SMTP Archiving, you can capture and store the messages centrally. Then you can search, view and, if necessary, restore the messages using Enterprise Vault Search or Archive Explorer clients.
