RE: Email appliance that keeps detailed logs and full archive of all emails?

We use MailMarshal which provides an archiving system for mail in
addition to excellent activity reporting. It only runs on Windoze NT4
and above :-(, however the level of reporting and functionality it
provides is worth it.  Although my network is fairly small it is very
scalable as the hardware requirements are modest.

Subject: Email appliance that keeps detailed logs and full archive of
all emails?

Hello all,

I had a scenario recently where getting access to the full text of an
email sent from a corporate network six months back would have been
extremely useful.

Of course I got hit with Murphy's Law, and the email did not exist in
any current email store nor did it exist in the backups.

I see that lots of email appliances are big into anti-spam and
anti-virus, but what about functionality for incident response?  The
ideal mix of features for me would be something extremely fast that can
handle being at an inbound/outbound choke point for up to 20,000 users,
keeping detailed logs of all activity and also a full archive of all
emails inbound or outbound.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Mark
