Remember the utility attorneys in the movie "Erin Brokovich"? I used to work for that company. Enough said.

We have a high legal profile. Per our attorneys, we are not to back up voice messages longer than needed for disaster recovery. If I put them in a second store, I can back that store up just enough (say, 1-2 weeks) for disaster recovery, but not long term, like the years we are required by FERC to keep tapes of our email. What we want to avoid is having to go through or hand over voice mail during legal discovery process. Which we'd have to do if they were backed up as part of the regular email store. But if they're off in their own store, we just don't back up that store (or keep tapes for very long), and there isn't a problem. The problem with doing this, as I said below - is that Cisco's UM doesn't support secondary authentication, so I do what I'd originally planned, which is, make a secondary mailbox for voice and just have people attach to it; it has to be the primary account people are logged in as, or we lose some UM functionality. And I really don't want to write some kludged up event sink based on message class to check if its a voice mail or not, and if not, to rewrite the From line and move the sent message over to the non-voice mail Exchange mailbox. So I'm hoping someone has another idea. Because I'm stuck.

Back it up as part of the store. What's the big deal? Its going to be backed up anyway, and going to take the same amount of time and space. Why are you making it needlessly complex? -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
