How much information will the "Enable Messaage Tracking" option on the MTA and more, provide? Will it provide only the sender/receiver of the messages or the actual content of the messages? Thanks in advance...
 
It will not provide message contents only who sent the message, to whom, when it was sent, which gateways it went through (within your Exchange network) and that's about it.

It's very useful for troubleshooting

If you want to track messages going out of the company then you could try Message Archival under Diagnostics Logging on the the IMS
 
Ok. So the Message Archival under Diagnostics Logging only tracks Internet mail, correct? Is there a way to track in house mail as well? Thanks...
 
Correct. The Message Archival option will only store messages going in and out of the IMS

Message tracking will track internal messages but it will not store their contents. There's no method of storing message contents I'm aware of although there's bound to be a third party solution that can do this (MailSweeper for Exchange may be able to)
