Barracuda Message Archiver Quick Start Guide

e

The Barracuda Message Archiver is a message archiving appliance that ensures all
messages entering and leaving your network, along with inter-comp any emails, are
archived and available for searching without the need for quotas on your e m ail server.
It is common for the Barracuda Message Archiver to be physically installed on your
network and assigned an IP address as a node on your internal network.

Getting Started

This guide provides you with setup instructions for the Barracuda Message
Archiver. We recommend reading these instructions fully before starting the
setup. To begin setting up your Barracuda Message Archiver, you will need the
following:

• Barracuda Message Archiver, AC power cord, ethernet cables (included)

• VGA monitor (recommended)

• PS2 keyboard (recommended)

Physical Installation

To install the Barracuda Message Archiver:

1. Fasten the Barracuda Message Archiver to a 19-inch rack or place it in a
stable location.

2. Connect an ethernet cable from your network switch to the ethernet port on
the back of the Barracuda Message Archiver.

3. Connect a standard VGA monitor, PS2 keyboard, and an AC power cord to
the Barracuda Message Archiver. Note: Immediately after connecting an
AC power cord to the unit, it may power ON for a few seconds and then
power OFF. This is because the unit is designed to automatically return to
a powered ON state in the event of a power outage.

4. Press the POWER button on the front panel to turn the unit on.

Configure IP Address and Network Settings

If you have a monitor connected, the Barracuda Message Archiver will display
the Boot Menu initially, and the Administrative Console login prompt once fully
booted. To begin the configuration:

1. Login to the Administrative Console using the admin login:

1. Login: admin

2. Password: admin

2. Configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS
Server and Secondary DNS Server as appropriate for your network.

3. Save your changes.

If you do not have a monitor and keyboard and want to set the IP using the
RESET button on the front panel, press and hold the RESET button per the
following table:

IP address Press and hold RESET for…

192.168.200.200 5 seconds

192.168.1.200 8 seconds

10.1.1.200 12 seconds

Open Firewall Ports

If your Barracuda Message Archiver is located behind a corporate firewall, open
the following ports on your firewall to ensure proper operation.

Port Direction TCP UDP Usage

22 In/Out Yes No Remote diagnostics and service (recommended)*
25 In/Out Yes No Email and email bounces
53 Out Yes Yes Domain Name Service (DNS)
80 Out Yes No Virus, Policy and Document Definition updates
123 In/Out No Yes Network Time Protocol (NTP)

*Access via Port 22 is required only if Technical Support is requested.

Verify and Configure Access from the Web Interface

Use a computer with a Web browser that is connected to the same network as
the Barracuda and follow these steps:

1. In the browser address bar, enter http:// followed by the IP address of the
Barracuda, followed by the default Web Interface HTTP Port (:8000). For
example, if you configured the Barracuda with an IP address of

192.168.200.200, you would enter the following:

http://192.168.200.200:8000

2. Log in to the Barracuda Message Archiver Web interface as the
administrator:

Username: admin Password: admin

3. Go to the BasicÆ IP Configuration page and perform the following:

• Verify the values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.

• Verify the values for Primary and Secondary DNS Server.

• Enter the Default Hostname and Default Domain. This is the name that

will be associated with bounced messages. For example, enter
barracuda as the Default Hostname and <yourdomainname> .com as
the Default Domain.

• In the Local Domains section, enter the email domains that are to be
archived. Click Add after each domain entry.

4. Click any one of the Save Changes buttons to save all of the information.

server does NOT have journaling capabilities, skip to Step 11.

1. Notes for Microsoft® Exchange 2003:

Make sure to enable envelope journaling. "Envelope journaling" in an
additional setting that must be enabled at a global level in Exchange in order
for it to be in effect whenever standard (aka "message-only") journaling is
activated for a particular mailbox store. More information on journaling,
including specific activation directions, can be found in several places on
Microsoft's Knowledge Base and TechNet sites:

2. Notes for journaling via a designated journal account:
Make sure that the journal email account is ready to receive all journaled
emails, and is able to retrieve email directly from the email server over one
of the standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, etc).

Configure Journal Accounts on the Barracuda Message Archiver

Once journaling is working on your email server, enter the information for the
journal account into the Barracuda Message Archiver to begin archiving:

1. Go to Basic

2. Enter the Server nam e, Username and Password for the journal account.

3. Select the Protocol used to communicate with the email server.

4. Select the desired Keep Items on Server option, to determine whether or
not journaled items are to be kept on the email server after they have been
entered into the Barracuda Message Archiver.

5. Click the Add button to activate this journal account.

6. Repeat steps 2 thru 5 for any additional journal acco unts you wish to
archive.

Your Barracuda Message Archiver is now active and archiving all messages.

If you do NOT have a journaling-capable email server...

If your email server does not have built-in journaling capabilities, then you must
have a journaling-capable appliance like the Barracuda Spam Firewall to act as
an SMTP proxy to your email server. To set up journaling on a Barracuda
Spam Firewall (firmware version 3.5 or later):

1. On your Barracuda Spam Firewall

2. In the Destination E-mail Address field, enter an SMTP recipient in the
form: username@ip_address_of_Barracuda_Message_Archiver

Example: archive@192.168.2.24

3. In the Journal Message Bounce Address field, enter the email address
that is to receive all bounce notifications from the Barracuda Message
Archiver.

4. Click Save Changes.

Your Barracuda Spam Firewall is now ready to journal all messages directly to
your Barracuda Message Archiver.
