Let me start by saying that I am not an SMTP/E-mail/Exchange admin.
I support an application that uses it's own proprietary method for sending email. It's bascially bouncing mail off/through an internal SMTP mail server.
This SMTP server also serves the same purpose for several other apps.
Recently, which the application I support, some users have been noticing that they are not receiving SOME notifications. The application records the sent messages in it's database, buit only stores one email address. So if the message was sent to a group of people I am unable to tell who the message was sent to.
I know that I can have SMTP logging enabled on the SMTP server but am afraid of the overheard since so many other applications use this server for sending mail.
Is there any way I can capture the messages as they are sent from the application server? Thereby only causing 1 application to deal with the additional overhead? I only realy need to capture the FROM: and TO: and a timestamp.
What I am trying to fugure out is if the application is just not sending the message or if the user is just not receiving the message. Since there are 3 variables involved (application, smtp server, user's Exchange server) I am having trouble discerning where the break down is ocurring.
I know this may be difficult to understand so please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks in advance.
