monitoring the mail activity

Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)

libimta.so 6.2-3.04 (built 01:43:03, Jul 15 2005)

SunOS mail 5.10 Generic_118822-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

We want to monitor the email activity between two particular users from different hosted domains for the time being and place the mail to certain inbox. How it抯 possible. Should we have to implement journaling or monitor as sieves rules are impossible.

Any suggestion and solution.

You can use the mapping entry, message-save-copy kind of thing. It's silent, and works well.

Jay Thanks for your response but I have a question,

Let me tell you what we want and how we are doing it currently. We want any mail sent between user1 and user2 then copy should be sent to monitor@domain.com. Currently we are doing it via sieves rule like as below;

For user1 we set the rule:

#RULE: $Name="monitor"$Order=2$Type="DEFAULT_TYPE" #BEGINFILTER if anyof(header :is ["From","Sender","Resent-from","Resent-sender","Return-path"] "user2@doamin.com"){ redirect "monitor@domain.com"; keep; } #ENDFILTER

for user2 we set the rule:

#RULE: $Name="monitor"$Order=2$Type="DEFAULT_TYPE" #BEGINFILTER if anyof(header :is ["From","Sender","Resent-from","Resent-sender","Return-path"] "user1@doamin.com"){ redirect "monitor@domain.com"; keep; } #ENDFILTER

How to write it via mapping entry based on above rule?

well, message-save-copy can't send the messages to another user. It can file the messages to a local disk, but that's all.

One problem with using Sieve to "forward" mails, is what happens if the destination is full, overquota, or in some other way, then the bounce will go to the parties you don't want to know about monitoring. .. . . . . . .

We don't set any quota at user monitor account and it resides on disk where we have large disk space. And I am monitoring that mail box continuously via mboxutil.

By the way give an example how we can write the rule for two users to store the every messages sent between them at local disk via message-save-copy.

Hm. I could swear that the information you need to do that is in one of the former posts that I posted links to.

Yes.
