Copy of Outbox messages

[ITJam]

Does anyone know of a way to get a copy of all e-mail being sent out from a users mailbox? The request was made by a manager who suspects e-mail abuse. I have done everything I can think of to monitor this mailbox. The only thing i cannot find is a way to grab the msgs as they are going out and before they're deleted. Any insight is appreciated. Thanx!

If you enable Message Tracking by going into the exchange administrator and then selecting the servername and then selecting the MTA (Message Transfer Agent) give it a couple of days and then go back into exchange admin and then goto tools and track. Here you can atleast do a search for all the messages that were sent or received by this user. This might give you an inking of what type of emails that person is sending.

ITJam, you may need to warn your manager that in several coutries, it is ILLEGAL to check anyones mail, even in a company.
Just to be on the safe site, tell him! The user couls sue as a breach of privacy.
Sad but true.

Thanks for the tip Marc,
I did try the tracking and it didnt do much, just indicated the messages sent and to whom. That may be good enough as I dont want to continue this type of detective work anyway.
