Thank You for your response.
Im enabling message tracking on our mail servers. This is useful to troubleshoot problems when user delete rules prior to disable. We use it for other solutions as well. Its very helpful.
I was told, the mail.box should be disabled for message tracking ? Im questioning that response ? I was told to open the mail.box, file-databse-properties, and check the box to disable .
Im thinking now the person maybe meant to turn of transaction logging on the mail.box, not message tracking. That would make more sense.
Is it true to turn off transaction logging on the mail.box.
Subject: TXN logging vs. mail tracking
As you correctly pointed out, there is no such thing as ‘disable message tracking’ on a database.The person definitely meant to disable transactional logging. And yes, it is usually recommended to disable txn logging for the mail.box file(s), since their content is so highly volatile, so if you’d use ‘archive’ or ‘linear’ logging style, it would ‘flood’ the logs with all these temporarily ‘in transit’ emails. If the logging style is ‘circular’, I guess it would probably be OK to leave it on, since the logs would get automatically rewritten anyway. Circular logging is mostly used to speed up server restarts after a crash and runtime in general and not for archiving anyway.
