Lotus Domino Objects, Journaling and Encryption

Hi,

I am writing an application for email retention and archiving using VB.NET and Lotus Domino Objects that extracts messages from the Domino Journal and exports them to DXL files.

I’ve come across a hurdle where some messages are encrypted and therefore the export throws an exception.

Can a nominated user account be configured by the Domino Administrator to have decrypted access to these encrypted messages? Alternitively, can Lotus Domino be configured to disallow user level encryption?

I’m new to Domino so if anyone can point me to the relevent information/options that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Michael

If the email is encrypted with a user’s private key, you will need to be running with that user’s Notes ID (which contains the private key). Not sure exactly sure how it works with Domino objects, but those are the rules with Proposion N2N (http://www.proposion.com) and I am sure they are similar in your case.

I’ve looked into it some more and there is an alternate Journalling option using a mail-in database which seems to work, atleast initially.

Are there any catches to look out for when using a mail-in database for journalling?
