Hi Guys,

I have a client that would like to capture all the smtp email in and out.

Can this be done within exchange 2007?

Thanks.

Hi John:

AFAIK, you will need a third party program to do this, but regardless of
how it is done, please advise your customer that he/they should have a signed
copy from every employee of "Computer Use Policies" that discloses the information
that "nothing on the company's systems is private" and "all usage is subject
to monitoring" and so on. While in the USA, such is considered the norm,
just having these documents in the file may head off the kind of behavior
the organization is attempting to stop, and, may also prevent lawsuits, no
matter how un warranted or frivolous.

Certainly possible in SBS2003 using an SMTP Event Sink, don't know whether
that will work in Exchange 2007 though.

You can use the Journaling feature.

Thanks Ace.... having ones memory/knowledge base expanded is a good thing.

I read in the article referenced

http://www.exchangeinbox.com/article.aspx?i=90:

"The downside of enabling journaling is that it increases server load by
a rather significant percentage and may require dedicated server resources,
but this is something worth living with if it means complying with company
policies, and / or regulatory requirements"

So I am wondering if anyone has actually done this to either SBS 2003 or
SBS 2008, and what were the resultant performance and space issues.

Seems to me that in 2003 we should see a large hit in both with 4 GB RAM
limit, and I'm guessing the journal does not conform to Single lnstance Storage,
whereas in 2008, we could simply add more RAM and add a drive(s) to hold
the journal, and Exchange 2007 does not do SIS anyway, iirc.

So my conclusion is that it is better implimented in SBS 2008 (or rather
Exchange 2007) than SBS 2003.
