What a useful list.
I would of thought that posting what I thought was a pretty basic question
would yield something resembling an answer from someone.
I hope the responses I received so far, both on and off list, are not
examples of typical hospitality and support I hope to receive.
I would ask that people who do reply, to actually include an answer instead
of a veiled flame.. send the flames off-list to spare the rest of the users
the enjoyment of reading what essentially is static noise.
...
For your enjoyment thought Adam, I will dig out some prescription glasses
and re-read and re-state my last message, just for you in an easier to
understand way..
Here it is:
Based on the answer from the friendly people on the list that I've
encountered so far, I'm to understand the URL to the FAQ (which I so
blatantly did not read) describes a method to do what I asked in my original
message...
And I'll restate that as well, with some extra commentary just so everyone
know what and why I wish to know if this can be done.
I've been contacted by a client who wishes to monitor incoming and outgoing
email, to the extent of message body contents, and attachments. (Please,
send your "This is immoral/illegal/un-right" comments to me off-list). For
reasons which are really not relevant to the users of the list, I won't
explain why they want to do this, other than, they want to do it.
The final outcome I would like to achieve is to have a pop account where the
client can retrieve all mail sent in and out of their company. I would like
each message to be available to your typical outlook/Eudora/pop3 compatible
mail client. I would also like the ability to select each message and if
desired, view its contents in full, as well as the ability to save
attachments added to the email in question.
What is not suitable, is a log of To/From/Message Size, incase there is any
confusion. The actual contents (and attachments) must be easily viewable,
just as if the email was sent to you (instead of nabbed/copy/forwarded in
the process)
So! If the URL http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/admin.html#copies actually
provides the exact answer I'm looking for, please excuse my ignorance.
Otherwise, I would really appreciate anyone who can provide me with relevant
information (minus the flames, and non-answer yielding responses) (Send
those off-list)
Thanks,
Les.
