Generic RFC-822 compatible mail servers

EasyStreet and McAfee do not fully support generic email servers and customers are fully responsible for implementing and supporting their server journal. At this time, we
cannot provide documentation and/or support configuration information for generic
servers. Also, without a journal report, Message Archiving will be forced to index the
metadata in the message header, which will result in potentially unreliable data.
