RE: [ActiveDir] Capture incoming e-mail address

[Puckett, Richard]

Title: Message

Tom,   Not sure of any products, but programmatically there are a number of different ways you might do this.  If the server is using Exchange 2000, you could implement an SMTP Transport Event Sink on the backend Mailbox Server (or SMTP Bridgehead), possibly using the ISMTPOnArrival (OnArrival) or the OnSubmission Interfaces to capture all inbound SMTP transactions.  The major difference between these two event types is that OnSubmission can be configured to run asynchronously (which would help to alleviate load and message hangs) and that OnArrival is synchronous (making it a potential resource and performance problem).    In both cases, Transport Event Sinks allow you to: forward all mail for a domain to a mailbox, add a disclaimer to the end of each message that leaves your network, scan all incoming mail from the Internet for keywords, subjects, and attachment filenames, check for viruses, check for spam.  In your particular case a Transport Event Sink could potentially be used to open inbound SMTP messages and retrieve the sender's e-mail address(es), writing them to a flat file or DB.  You'd have to cautious of resource utilization and synchronous calls     Check out the following articles on MSDN:   Microsoft Windows 2000 SMTP Service Events http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="/library/en-us/dnsmtps/html/transportevents.asp   Implementing Sinks with Scripting Languages http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="/library/en-us/cdosys/html/_cdosys_implementing_smtp_event_sinks.asp   ISMTPOnArrival Interface http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="/library/en-us/cdosys/html/_cdosys_ismtponarrival_interface.asp   SMTP/NNTP Transport Event Sinks with CDO http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="/library/en-us/cdosys/html/_cdosys_smtp_nntp_transport_event_sinks_with_cdo.asp   smtpreg.vbs Event Management Script http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="/library/en-us/smtpevt/html/_smtpevt_smtpreg_vbs_event_management_script.asp   Hope this helps, Richard     -----Original Message----- From: Tom Verde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 3:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Capture incoming e-mail address Hi all,    I am new to this group and have a quick question that I hope someone can help me with.    One of our customers needs to find a utility/product that can capture all incoming e-mail addresses on their exchange server and put them in a database of somesort to have a record of who e-mailed the company.    Are there any links/products/procedures etc. that can accomplish this? Thanks in advance. Tom
