Protecting the Instant Messaging Archive

Instant Messaging has the capability to archive instant messages for later retrieval and searching. If you enable the email archive, you need to decide which administrators will receive email containing archived instant messages. You can configure a separate list of administrators to receive polls, news, conference, alerts, or chat sessions. You can also configure Instant Messaging to use the extended RFC 822 header. Doing so allows mail clients to filter messages based on the header content. If you do enable the Portal archive, you can decide which administrators can access the Portal archive database.
