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
Access Control roles specific to Search & Destroy. Only
users assigned to one of the following roles can access Search & Destroy:
-
Search & Destroy Administrator: Can search for, monitor, and
delete undesirable content from both a user’s mailbox and the Exchange
server
-
Search & Destroy Operator: Can search for and monitor
undesirable content in 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.
