All righty then, give this one a whirl. This comes from Q324205. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q324205&;
SUMMARY Exchange 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later includes the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) Protocol diagnostics logging functionality. You can use SMTP Protocol diagnostics logging to troubleshoot connectivity and mail flow issues. This article describes how to configure the SMTP Protocol log file. MORE INFORMATION How to Configure the SMTP Protocol Log File Start Exchange System Manager, expand Administrative Groups, expand First Administrative Group, and then expand Servers. Right-click Server_name, and then click Properties. Click the Diagnostics Logging tab. Click MSExchangeTransport in the Services pane, click SMTP Protocol in the Categories pane, and then set the SMTP Protocol logging level to Minimum or higher so that you can see header and transaction data. NOTE: The SMTP Protocol Log file is located in the Exchsrvr\Server_name.log folder. For example, if the Exchange 2000 server is named Exchange2000, the SMTP Protocol Log file is located in Exchsrvr\Exchange2000.log. The SMTP Protocol log file is saved as a tab-delimited text file. Microsoft recommends that you view the file by using Microsoft Excel. Available Logging Levels None: Nothing is logged. Minimal: Fatal (500 level) SMTP protocol errors are logged. Medium: Transient (400 level) SMTP protocol errors are logged. NOTE: If you set the logging level to Maximum, you receive the same information as you do when you set the logging level to Medium. You gain no additional benefits if you change the logging level from Medium to Maximum. > Greg > > I have activated everything there but it seems it is only logging what > happens AFTER the connection was successfully established.
