Cause

This issue is caused when the environment is configured to use target address rewriting for SMTP archiving, and the aliases file located in the <Enterprise Vault installation folder>\SMTP\DATA\etc\switch has not been copied over to the new server.

More information for target address rewriting can be found in the Enterprise Vault Setting up SMTP Archiving guide.

Resolution

Copy the aliases file from the old server located in the <Enterprise Vault installation folder>\SMTP\DATA\etc\switch to the new server.  If the old server is no longer available or accessible, then manually update the aliases file following the directions in the Enterprise Vault Setting up SMTP Archiving guide, under the Adding target address aliases section.

If the environment has more than 1 SMTP server, then all SMTP servers need to be updated and restarted before the changes take effect.

Issue/Introduction

The SMTP Archiving task is not archiving new items after server migration.
