How to send a copy of all SMTP mails to another recipient mailbox using SMTP Event Sink

Sometime we need to trap all the outgoing/incoming email messages and would like to forward a copy of it to another recipient mailbox.
Here is sample script to achieve that:

Step 1: Install Exchange 2003 SDK on your Exchange Server. You can download it at the following link.

Step 2: Open Notepad and Paste the following code to it and save it as forward.vbs

This sample code assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures.

 

    1:  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript"> 

    2:   

    3:  Sub ISMTPOnArrival_OnArrival(ByVal Msg, EventStatus) 

    4:   

    5:  Dim RecpList 

    6:   

    7:  recplist = Msg.EnvelopeFields("https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/smtpenvelope/recipientlist")

    8:   

    9:  'Change "administrator@dc.com" to the mailbox address to which you want to send a B’cc copy

   10:  If ( Instr(recplist,"SMTP:administrator@dc.com;") =< 0) then

   11:      recplist = recplist &  "SMTP:administrator@dc.com;" 

   12:  End If

   13:  Msg.EnvelopeFields("https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/smtpenvelope/recipientlist") = recplist 

   14:  Msg.EnvelopeFields.update

   15:  WriteLog(Msg.EnvelopeFields("https://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/smtpenvelope/recipientlist"))

   16:  WriteLog("Done")

   17:  End Sub

   18:   

   19:  Sub WriteLog(ByVal strMessage)

   20:      Dim fs

   21:      Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   22:      Dim file

   23:   

   24:  'change "C:\bnewlog.txt" name/path of the log file

   25:      Set file = fs.opentextfile("C:\bnewlog.txt", 8, True)

   26:      file.Write strMessage

   27:      file.Close

   28:  End Sub

   29:   

   30:  </SCRIPT>

Step 3: Register the event sink
========================
1. Click Start -> Run­, Type "cmd" and Click OK
2. Type "CD C:\Program Files\Exchange SDK\SDK\Support\CDO\Scripts" and Press Enter
3. Type cscript smtpreg.vbs /add 1 onarrival SMTPScriptingHost CDO.SS_SMTPOnArrivalSink "mail from=*" and Press Enter
4. Type cscript smtpreg.vbs /setprop 1 onarrival SMTPScriptingHost Sink ScriptName "C:\forward.vbs" and Press Enter (make sure that the path to forward.vbs is correct)

Now, all the incoming/outgoing emails bcc'ed/copied to administrator@dc.com.

To unregister this event, type the following:
cscript smtpreg.vbs /remove 1 OnArrival SMTPScriptingHost
