Welcome to googleapps-message-recall for Google Apps Admins.
The googleapps-message-recall software is an application to be hosted on Google AppEngine for recalling messages within a Google Apps domain.
As Enterprises move to the Cloud, requirements to match pre-Cloud service capabilities follow. One key request from Enterprises of any size has been the ability to administratively remove an Email from all users in the domain. The reasoning for such a request could be for Human Resource, Financial, or Security reasons. Typically, the mail systems the Enterprises moved from had capabilities to perform this type of “message recall”. This functionality does not exist in Google Apps today.
The goal of this software will be to provide similar functionality given the capabilities that exist today for domains to interact with their users mailboxes in a scalable way using Google Cloud services.
See the README file for more information about the scripts and a link to our support group. Check the INSTALL-MESSAGE-RECALL pdf file for help installing and running the application.
