Thanks Jeffrey, We've told the client of the overhead involved but as they see it they're not a huge organization (15 users) and on average they're mailbox sizes are around 70mb. But they want to really lock down on personal email and so on as its costing them $$$ for the traffic which is fair enough. Is there a built in way in Exchange to do this without purchasing Mail Essentials?

You would need to setup rules for each mailbox individually for both inbound and outbound. Plus, you can have the "copied" mail go to an entirely different mail server if you wished so that you dont clog your exchange 2k up. I would imagine either way this is a heck of a lot of overhead though.. having to do everything twice. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Aitchison [mailto:pdaitch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 9:24 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Copy every email to a mailbox http://www.MSExchange.org/ HI there, One of our clients has requested (due to the fact they're net bill has skyrocketed) the ability for every incoming and outgoing email to be copied to a mailbox so they can see who is using it for personal mail etc. I can work out the incoming side by turning on forwarding but how can we force all users to send a bcc or cc copy to this mailbox and not be able to switch it off? Is it possible within Exchange or are we looking at some 3rd party program to do this?
