I had posted the same quite sometime back. Just have a look. In your
case, you have to use *@yourdomain.com instead of specific mailboxes.

Enabling Per Mailbox Journaling for External E-mails
Well, we all know how to enable message journaling per mailbox store in
Exchange 2003. Its good for compliance purposes, where you need to
maintain all e-mails generated on your mail server(s). This also helps
in case of a server crash, where you are not able to restore your server
back to the original state (Should not happen!). But, what if we want to
perform selective journaling? There are plenty of third party tools
available and they come on a cost.
There is a free way to do the same, provided, you have at least two
servers or maintain a border server for mail delivery and receipt. This
is achieved by using SMTP Archive Sink, using a small VBSCRIPT.
The script is available for download from OulookExchange
<http://www.outlookexchange.com/articles/glenscales/caudexp.asp>
written by Glanscales.
How to use the script
I assume that you have a two-server scenario, a sort of front-end,
back-end one, where one server hosts all the mailboxes. Mailbox server
forwards all the e-mails to border server. We will register an event
sink on the border server for Outgoing mails for selective mailboxes
(Could be all as well).
We will register another event sink on the mailbox server for Incoming
e-mails for selective mailboxes.
On the border server (For outgoing mails):
Make a directory, suppose c:\jrnlarchive
Download
<http://www.outlookexchange.com/articles/glenscales/caudexp.zip> the
script and save it at c:\jrnlarchive. I assume, you saved the file as
smtpjrnl.vbs
Edit the script and replace
Monitormailbox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Monitormailbox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> by
your monitoring mailbox.
Download
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5D3475BD-6915-
4110-959D-6E4CB233D79D&displaylang=en> SMTPREG.VBS provided by
Microsoft to register/un-register event sinks. Save this script in the
same directory as above script.
Open a command prompt and change directory to
c:\jrnlarchive
Type cscript smtpreg.vbs /add 1 onarrival smtpjrnlOut
CDO.SS_SMTPOnArrivalSink "Mail From=user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:From=user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ; Mail From=user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:From=user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ; Mail from=userN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:from=userN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> " and press enter.
Type all on one line
Note: Where userN stands for N number of mailboxes. If
you want to do journaling for all the mailboxes for outgoing e-mais,
then the command will be cscript smtpreg.vbs /add 1 onarrival smtpjrnl
CDO.SS_SMTPOnArrivalSink "Mail From=*@yourdomain.com"
7. Type cscript smtpreg.vbs /setprop 1 onarrival
smtpjrnlOut Sink ScriptName c:\jrnlarchive\smtpjrnl.vbs
Test it by sending mails from the any of the specified mailboxes.
On the Mailbox Server (For incoming mails):
Repeat steps 1-5.
Type cscript smtpreg.vbs /add 1 onarrival smtpjrnlIn
CDO.SS_SMTPOnArrivalSink "Rcpt to=user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:to=user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ; Rcpt to=user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx". Press
Enter
To journal incoming e-mails for every mailbox, use:
cscript smtpreg.vbs /add 1 onarrival smtpjrnlIn CDO.SS_SMTPOnArrivalSink
"Rcpt to=*@yourdomain.com <mailto:to=*@yourdomain.com> "
3. Type: cscript smtpreg.vbs /setprop 1 onarrival
smtpjrnlIn Sink ScriptName c:\jrnlarchive\smtpjrnl.vbs
Test it by sending mails to the any of the specified mailboxes.
Drawback
Bad part is when you need to modify the list of mailboxes to be
journaled. This can be done by remove the sink and re-register it with
modified list of mailboxes. I do it by maintaining a small batch file.

Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange Event Sink for copying mails
http://www.MSExchange.org/
Hello
I'm working with an exchange 2003 server (standard) I need :
-One.
to make a copy of all mails from Internet (for the internet domaine,
type :
@mydomain.com), passing through the virtual smtp server.
-Two.
to make a copy of mails from the society to Internet.
But not the mails beetween the members of the society.
I think, i must create an event sink. on the smtp server. But i don't
know how !
Do you know a site which is talking about a solution or an add-on.
thanks a lot.
fabrice
