InterScan™ Messaging Security Appliance (IMSA) can archive messages in a specified folder on the server in the $IMSA_HOME\queue\archive directory.
Trend Micro recommends archiving messages that you might want to access later for reference.
Create different types of archive areas for different types of email, such as email that violates spam scanning conditions or email that violates message content scanning conditions.
Do not archive messages that could contain viruses or other malicious code.
Trend Micro recommends deleting or quarantining messages that violate the antivirus rule.
