Can I copy all e-mail sent by a user to a different Mailbox?

[UrbanViking]

We are running Exchange 2003 SP1 (upgrading to SP2 can not be done soon because our maintenance window is VERY small.) What I would like to know is if there is a way to copy all the E-Mail sent to and from a specific user to a different E-Mail box. I know you can make a copy of ALL email sent using Journaling, but this would kill our server. We need to monitor a specific users E-Mail, without changing their password every few days. I am interested in any solutions within Exchange or 3rd party software to accomplish this. Thanks.

To could be done with an alternate recipient. From would probably require an event sink. Does your inbound/outbound mail pass through an AV or anti-spam gateway? Possibly you could implement there.

We are running Symantec Mail Security for Exchange which we have used in the past to block e-mail from a specific account, but I could not find anyway within Mail Security to copy e-mail to or from a user to another account. I will look into this some more. Thanks.

Journal would certainly be the way to go. Why do you say it would kill your server? Do you have Enterprise or Standard Exchange? Are you so low on disk space you can't have double the single mailbox size?

We need to monitor a specific users E-Mail, without changing their password every few days.

Why would you need to change the password? Assign a user or group to have full mailbox access to this user ID and you can use OWA to open the users mailbox whenever you want while logged on as yourself. The downside to this is that you only see what has been saved. If the user send mail and selects to not save a copy in sent items you won't see it. Journalling overcomes this.

I hope you find this post helpful.
