What does PureMessage store in SQL?

Kos-Symbion

I know Puremessage needs SQL but what does it use it for?

Are actual items like quarantined emails stored or just configuration details?

I'm looking at installing 3.1.2 on  Exchange 2010SP2 box and want to work out whether to use SQL server across WAN or install local SQL on same box.

Thanks,

Kos

    Regarding the quarantine release, the actual quarantined message is also stored at the file system level of the Exchange box where the email arrived. This means that the request to release will be handled primarily at the Exchange end, so the database won't be copying over large chunks of data.

    Otherwise, communications with SQL work via TCP/IP and named pipes.

    From a console standpoint, there is no major difference between running the SQL locally or remotely. However, in your environment, if you want to share the same policy and configuration with all these Exchange systems, you can pick one server within your main office to house the SQL, regardless if PureMessage is installed or not on the same system. This would allow for a single console for administering your servers.
