I can match the message to my gateway logs and pull data from there too. I
just need to be able to extract the data for it to be useful.
Also, some tool is better than no tool. I can work around short comings as
long as the basic functionality is there.
The rewrites are also very minimal and do not destroy the information that
we am looking for.
It will also allow me to get more people involved in classifying the email.

Damon Sauer

We found this piece of software that will run against an exchange
mailbox, gather certain information from email in a folder and put in
in a database ... It is very interesting. But it does not go far
enough. Could someone look at this? I think that it would be a GREAT
help in cataloging the data. Once the vital information is in a sql
database- I can match my logs to it.
I would caution against using Exchange as a back-end for mail reception; it
rewrites the messages extensively and many key spam signatures will be lost.
