Check into Lagato EmailXtender (http://www.legato.com). This is designed for "Journaling" to preserve email for archiving, SEC regulations, etc. I've been looking into this for use with Exchange, but their brochure says ``UNIX sendmail." (The sales-person says a Milter, but I've not found this online.) If the files are being archived for possible use in investigations, lawsuits, etc. then making a copy is not enough. You have to be sure the copy meets some minimal evidence requirements. Legato is designed to meet that purpose. (All your talk about rewriting headers, etc. would be we a defense lawyers dream if it turned up in discovery.) Ethics is something to work out for yourself. But, legality is definitely a GAL situation. Even if your legal department is willing to put it in writing, get your own Lawyer who works for you! Unless, it is clear you are complying with financial regulations, a wire-tap subpoena, or some other clear case. And, for Goddess sake, stop using the term "wire tap!" Wiretaps are illegal unless authorized by a court, or done with the permissions of the parties being recorded in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. Mike -- Michael D.
