Exchange Journaling to SQL

[Bob]

Hi All,

I am in the early stages of looking for a way to journal all emails going
through our exchange 2003 server to a SQL database.

Ideally our company would like to be able to view all contact histroy to
customer email addresses, integrated into our intranet site.

There will be some business logic applied, so ideally it would be done via
c# or vbscript.

Can anyone point me in the right dirrection, or offer advice on a good way
to acheive this?

Well, whilst you can, and there are scripts to do it I would suggest
that the cost of: http://www.gfi.com/mailarchiver/ coupled with what
you already know and can do with SQL would be cheaper and also have
more flexibility, allowing the Exchange stores to be nice and small
and allow the users a decent interface to it as well as all your BI
requirements.
