Hi Our management asking to prepare monthly / yearly reports on incomming and outgoing mails (both internal and external) for each user. We are using Exchange 2003, is there any script to generate the number of mails sent and received by each user. Thanks in advance Regards LMS LMS

Hi, As you are using Exchnage 2003 you can use SMTP Logging enable in exchange 2003 and generate log. Once you will have log then parse it to generate report. Messaging tracking also give you detail but its not fesible for whole the servers. Must see below article to do it !!! http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Logging_the_SMTP_Service.html Anil

SMTP logging is not going to be any use here as that doesn't track internal email. Exchange doesn't store statistics. Therefore anything retrospective isn't going to be possible. Querying the mailboxes directly isn't going to help either as users delete messages. Exchange can do message tracking, and then those logs can be queried by third party tools - nothing native unfortunately. http://www.amset.info/exchange/message-tracking.asp If you didn't have message tracking enabled, then you will only be able to get information from the point you enabled it onwards.

Only we can not track which send internal recpinets but rest of the mail flow we can track thru SMTP logging. This is the only solution in 2003 for collect info. Anil

Why bother with SMTP logging which only provides you with part of the picture when message tracking provides the full picture? Simon.Simon Butler, Exchange MVP Blog | Exchange Resources
