| is it possible to log all emails sent through the server? i want to save and
log the actual .eml file not just the regular w3c logging properties. i was
asked to log emails sent through a web app and i dont want to recreate the
wheel if it is already built in, or maybe some third party software to do
the job

You are saying you want to keep a copy of every email that passes
through your SMTP server?

Humm, I'd make 100% sure your company's legal department approves of
this. In some cases it might be a violation of either law or
established company/employee policy. IMHO, it is risky without a lot
of value. But, it is your (company) decision.
I think this can be done with an event sink. Sadly I've never tried it
so I can't give you the code... <g> However, I suspect a web search
will turn up something along these lines.

In most mail server programs you have the option to copy all incoming
and outgoing mail to an account. In Exchange, it's referred to as
Journalling. The SMTP/POP server in 203 doesn't have this feature,
you'd need to program an event sink yourself for this. Or look into
third party programs if you need the functionality.
