Actually Exchange 2010 exposes this data through OWA to the end user in a nice little interface that you can search wtih.

But not in the DSN.[1] So you either keep SMTP protocol logging on all the time, or you don't actually get to see the transcript unless you have repeated failures and go and turn on SMTP logging. (Note 1 = At least, not up through Ex 2003. I dunno about Ex 2007. If that got added, great. Something to look forward to when we inevitably migrate to Ex 2010.) > GMail doesn't make that information available to ANYone. I presume GMail's administrators can turn on their version of SMTP logging, too. HHOS. If someone was using Exchange to provide free webmail, it would have exactly the same issues. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
