To set up custom filtering for specific Domino journaling locations, you need to create a separate ruleset file for each journaling location that you want to filter. The name of each ruleset file must be:

journaling_location_name.xml

For example, if you want to filter the Domino journaling location that is shown as "Symantec/*" in the Administration Console, you would create a ruleset file called "Symantec.xml". Any other journaling locations that are serviced by the Domino archiving tasks and which have been enabled for custom filtering, are processed using the default ruleset file, Default Filter Rules.xml.

If archiving tasks are enabled for custom filtering, but neither the default ruleset file nor named ruleset files exist, the archiving tasks will attempt to use a default content category, as defined in custom properties.xml. If none of the above exists, an error is logged and the archiving tasks stop. You can configure archiving tasks to manage missing defaults gracefully using the IGNORENODEFAULT registry setting.

This registry setting is particularly useful if you want to restrict filtering to named mailboxes only.
