My bosses have decided that they want to audit email use by the employees
with out using any software on the users computer. I found MailCensor 3
which lets me capture emails being sent across the lan, but because we
upgraded our old collection of hubs to a couple of HP Procurve 2524
switches, I can no longer capture the email packets being sent by the user's
workstation (Im going out on a limb assuming this is how mailcensor works)
with out having to physically re-route their connection through a hub that
has the computer running MailCensor 3 attached to it. While there is no
major hit to the performance of the  users network connection, but if I
start adding more users to the hub their performance suffers greatly. I was
wondering if there is a way to "tell" the HP Switch to broadcast all the
packets sent through it not only to their destination, but also to the port
with the machine running MailCenter 3. (Im sorry in advance if this is a
stupid question, I don't know much about network hardware, but since you
guys have been helpful in the past I figured that you would be able to
either point me in the right direction or smack me in the back of the head
for being stupid)

Thanks in Advance
