Hi The Exchange server receives the emails from Unix.# I shall look at the option of tcpdump. I have requested logs from the unix system as well.

I could be mistaken, but I thought that IMAP was a "receive only" protocol. I think you will want to look at smtp logging on your exchange server. Although cumbersome, the logging to an access database functionality was a successful scenario in the past for me. You actually may find it easier to run tcpdump on the Unix box to capture packets and then inspect in wireshark to troubleshoot the sending problem. Also take a look at the logs on the Unix box. ~JasonG ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
