I thought of that, too, but I also came up with some other ways, only some of which cost money. 1: write or buy an app that logs traffic to port 25, either on the SMTP server or on a machine that logs it and forwards it to the actual SMTP server 2: use the Foreign Mail Server to send the mail via something that has the feature 3: turn logging up to ludicrous for SMTP and parse yesterday's log every morning at 1AM. 4: Combine 2 and 3 by setting up a second SIMS box for SMTP, use it as a Foreign Mail Server with ridiculous logging and a logparser (it also could be your backup MTA) > >> I won't go into the rationale for this decision, but as a private school >> with written parental consent, the privacy implications don't apply. > >Big Brother lives and thrives. 5: tell 'em "can't be done" -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
