Intercept SMTP Network Traffic

[JoeZ430]

I have tried to search for this solution, but have come up empty. It could be what I was trying to search on. Anyway, here is what I am trying to do. We are an insurance company, and are wanting to scrub all outgoing emails for private healthcare information, and stop them from going out. The other situation would be if someone typed the word [secure] in the subject or body of the email.

If one of these things happened, the original email would get stopped, encrypted, and thrown into a secure web mail system for later retreival. The intended recipient would then get an email saying that they have received a secure mail with a link to the secure message.

I think the hardest part that I am having trouble getting started on is listening for smtp traffic on the network. Right now we have 2 possible SMTP servers that could be sending outgoing mail (that I am aware of). Does anyone have any examples of how to intercept and read these messages? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure you've posted in the rigth forum.

This is Java forum. You should post this on the e-mail forum I think.
