Creating a Mail Contact for Office 365 with Exchange

On the Office 365 with Exchange server, create a mail contact. The mail contact is the external email address of the ContentStore Mailbox that will receive the journal reports.

The domain name must be a non-existent domain. You must use the same domain for the remote domain, the mail contact, the Send connector, and the journal rules.

Before You Begin

You must have a thorough understanding of journaling and of managing mail contacts on the Exchange server. Consult the Microsoft documentation before you create a mail contact. For example, see the Microsoft TechNet article: "Manage mail contacts", https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998858(v=exchg.150).aspx

Procedure

In this example, you create a mail contact using remote PowerShell for a contact named JournalHosted.

1. Open Windows PowerShell and create a remote PowerShell session to Office 365 with Exchange.

2. To create a mail contact for the ContentStore Mailbox, type the following command:

   New-MailContact -Name "JournalHosted" -ExternalEmailAddress "JournalHosted@domain.com"

3. To hide the mail contact so that it does not appear the global address list, type the following command:

   Set-MailContact -Identity "JournalHosted" -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true

What to Do Next

On the Office 365 with Exchange server, create the journal rules.
