Search & Destroy provides administrators
the ability to search and remove mailbox components (for example,
email messages, meetings, tasks) from Exchange mailbox servers.
Administrators can specify detailed search criteria to focus searches
on specific keyword matching, users, mailboxes, and component creation
dates.
ScanMail provides
administrators with an Access Control role
that is specific to Search & Destroy. Only users assigned to
the Search & Destroy administrator role can search
for, monitor, and delete undesirable content from both a user’s mailbox
and the Exchange server.

Note
By default, ScanMail does
not assign any users, including the Administrator,
to the Search & Destroy administrator role. Administrators must
assign users access to Search & Destroy manually. For details,
see Configuring Search & Destroy Access Accounts.

Search & Destroy employs an Exchange service account that
performs keyword-matching searches on mailbox components based on
administrator-configured search criteria and stores copies of the
matches in an Exchange discovery mailbox. Administrators can review
the component matches to determine if the content is undesirable. ScanMail can then delete the
undesirable search results from the discovery mailbox and the mailbox
of the offending user.
