Is EFA capable of Resending/Re-deliver/Replay emails?

Scenario: Exchange Email server goes down dirty on VM. Database is corrupt. Restore takes you back to last full. Missing a weeks worth of email. Is EFA capable to store a certain time duration of email and resend/redeliver based on a selection criteria chosen by the administrator?

If so, where is this setting/configuration?

Yes, you can use Search and Reports/Message Operations to query for and release larger sums of mail, using the "R" release flag.

A more one-shot solution may require some PHP scripting in the console to query the MailWatch DB and call the same release function.

Thanks for the answer 'shawniverson'.

Do you happen to know what the default retention time is on that and where the config for it is? In the MailWatch or Webmin (admin console)?

In the version 4.x it is in /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php

Find the line:
// Define how many days of emails to keep.
define('RECORD_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 60);

Change the "60" to whatever retention days you need.
