Hello dears, I want to save all email addresses that pass through the exchange server. when an email is sent to any recipient outside my organization, I want to save all these addresses to a text file. for example Email ------------- To: user1@outside.com;user2@outside.com Cc: user@somedomain.com;user@anotherdomain.com Subject : Fw: ........ Message body test to test@domain.com I want to collect all the email addresses that is in this message user1@outside.com user2@outside.com user@somedomain.com user@anotherdomain.com test@domain.com Is this possible? Exchange 2007 or 2003

There isn't any built in feature to collect all email addresses in text file. You may need to write your own transport agent (in Exchange 2007) or an event sink (in Exchange 2003) to write all outside email addresses to a text file in real time. If you have any query on transport agent or event sink then you may try posting a query indevelopmentforum for further information on how to develop it... Exchange Server TechCenter>Exchange Server Forums>Development All email transactions stored into message tracking logs so if you parser the logs then you may find the list of addresses later. You can use LogParser or any other third-party utility (I guess MessageStat gives this result) to scan message tracking logs...

Hi Tariq, Message journaling can send a copy of a message to the journaling mailbox every time a user in a journal-enabled mailbox database sends or receives a message. But you just want the email addresses and you need it in text format. There is no such a feature in Exchange. I agree with Amit, you may need to develop an agent to achieve this goal. Thanks, Elvis
