Hi,

I need to create a program or do something in order to trace emails comming
in from a specfic domain. The email is comming to 6 Users Helpdesk. I need
to keep track what time the email arrived and how long it takes for a User
from the help desk to reply to the email.


How can I do that?

I have some knowledge in VB 6, I have looked for a sample code on where to
start, but found none.

If I am using VB 6 do I need to do this on the Server with Exchange ?

Is there any thrid party software that can do this?

Thanks for your help.

Well there are many commerical programs that will allow a email to come in
and then generate a ticket based on that. That would give you your time
stamp for the first part.

The time stamp would also be placed when the help desk person logs their
note as to the resolution.

Outside of that you can enable tracking in Exchange which generates some
logs

Further to Chris comments I use GFI mail essentials for the time stamping.
There are others but reviewed this product and did all I wanted. Is mainly
spam and disclaimer but does much more

Bill,

My company currently uses GFI, so you are saying that it will be able to do
what I am looking for! keep track of all helpdesk emails inbound and
outbound?
I thought that the GFI software is mainly used for SPAM

Thanks
Dib
