Hmmm - all but one bit of that is captured to /var/log/messages. Sounmds
like a perl script to me.

As far as capturing random messages is concerned, here in Australia at
least that is an invasion of privacy, *even* if the mail system and all
its parts is owned by the employer, who also owns the connection to the
Internet. Don't know about the USA laws though...
