Hi,

Lotus notes had an option to trace the entire path of an e-mail. It would
list all the servers your e-mail passed through. Is there any way to do
this with outlook? I tried enabling message tracking but I get the error
message:

2004.01.19 14:09:16 <<<< Logging Started (level is LTF_TRACE) >>>>
2004.01.19 14:09:16 Resource manager terminated

Any 3rd party tools that will do what I require?

thanks

Jamie

In an email in Outlook, look at the message header via Menu:
View/Options, Section: Internet Headers.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Thank for the response. I was looking for a tool that could report back to
me the path it had taken. For example: if I send to joeblogs@hotmail.com I
would get a report back to me saying;

jamie.hotpop.com SOURCE
mail.yahoo.com 14:10:15 Today - 14:10:17 Today

mail4.google.com 14:12:31 Today - 14:12:31 Today

ns7.cpas.com 14:45:46 Today - 14:45:56 Today

mail.hotmail.com DESTINATION 14:45:56 Today -
14:45:57 Today

Lotus used to be able to so this.

thanks

Jamie

Oh. You want it on your out-bound. I'm guessing that Lotus Notes is
only telling you about the messaage as it traverses a network of Lotus
Domino servers--and probably only within the same organisation.

For mail into the internet, even if originating from a Domino server, I
don't think there is a mail protocol that reports back to sender this
information--or at least I can't think of such a thing.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Send your mail to someone, then have them send you back via email the
header information. In Outlook, open the email, then Menu:
View/Options. May at least satisfy your curiosity (but probably doesn't
do what you want).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
