Is their a feature in Exchange 2003 or a 3rd party application to monitor
Exchange transactions real-time. We're looking for something that can
notify our managment if emails from our users are sent to specific domains
or contain certain keywords in the subject line. It would be even better if
a copy of the email was sent to management so that they can see the contents
without requesting IT to open that users email. Has anyone come accross an
application that performs function similar to this?

Thanks for your response.
Are there any other applications that will do this. Perhaps something much
less expensive. We just need an application for monitoring. We have a
Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 that handles our spam and does an awesome job.

Barracuda can surely do this, you can quarantine a message the manager
for their approval to deliver.

I called them yesterday and they verified that it was not a capability of
the Spam Firewall 300. I need something that will run and catch emails in
real time without user intervention and notify management. I cannot have
notifcations for every domain blacklisted and every keyword that gets
blocked dumped into a mailbox. Our management does not have the time or
patience to filter through a huge list of emails not to mention that our
Barracuda blocks almost 3000 messages a day.

You need to look at mail security products.
Take a look at Tumbleweed.

Well, I contacted Tumbleweed but their products are way out of our price
range for what we are looking for. Their MailGate appliance sounds great
but it lists at 4k. We've already invested 3k plus subscriptions into the
Barracua so it is very hard to justify spending another 4k plus around 350 a
year for a device that does the same thing as the barracuda with a few extra
features. They also have a software suite available but it runs $2,500 and
it would put us in the same boat. We have a good working spam filtering
solution in place. All we want to do is be able to audit incoming and
outgoing emails. There must be an application out there that works with
exchange and uses credentials to monitor mail transactions. We are a small
company (50 - 60 users) but due to the nature of our business we rely
heavily on high availability and focus strongly on security and auditing.
We are running Exchange 2003 in a Windows 2003 Enterprise active/passive
clustered environment. Surely someone has accomplished this without the use
of spam filtering software.

I don't remember Tumbleweed being such a good price.
I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Like I said, you need email security.

If you would like a real solution forget that pull webmail solution.
Why admin 2 systems or worry about purging messages.
Take a look at Voltage Security. They have a couple of solutions that
will help you out.
Including a enterprise hosted solution that still uses push technology
with mutli branding.
