The full Barracuda Message Archiver product line now features Exchange stubbing for optimisation of email server resources. With Exchange stubbing, administrators save email server storage and bandwidth requirements by moving email attachments from Microsoft Exchange to the Barracuda Message Archiver.

With Exchange stubbing the Barracuda Message Archiver connects to Microsoft Exchange servers to find emails with attachments that match policies, including attachment size and message age. For emails that match the policy, the Barracuda Message Archiver copies the messages and removes the attachments from the email server, replacing the attachments on the email server with hyperlinks, or “stubs,” to the attachments on the Barracuda Message Archiver.

The Barracuda Message Archiver Outlook Add-in ensures that the attachment is handled correctly when stubbed emails are accessed or forwarded to another user. The add-in retrieves the attachment and places it inline, ensuring that email messages and attachments appear as they would prior to Exchange stubbing and that the end user never has to leave the email client to retrieve the email attachment. For users who do not have the Barracuda Message Archiver Outlook add-in or when users are accessing stubbed email from Outlook Web Access, mobile devices, or other email clients the formatting of the stub ensures that attachments are still available through a hyperlink.
