MailSniff

MailSniff is a powerful software designed to help corporate network administrators and parents monitor their employees' and children's online activities, respectively. It allows users to capture emails from the network interface and saves them in commonly used pcap formats like BillSniff, tcpdump, Ethereal, among others. Users can even save email attachments to disk as well as the pure network traffic in pcap log files that can be analyzed in commonly used sniffers.

Captured emails are displayed in an easy-to-access, easy-to-read, and easy-to-analyze manner. They are classified according to mailbox and source host addresses and can be viewed in various forms such as content view, MIME view, and pure stream view.

One of the standout features of MailSniff is its filtering engine based on Python language script files. This feature provides users with limitless opportunities in creating scripts that can filter incoming emails and even use the vast range of available python modules to create complex scripts that react to suspicious emails.

MailSniff also comes with an alarm engine that sends notifications (such as emails or notify windows) and writes logs when an alarm condition is triggered. Users can define the alarm conditions using a user-friendly interface.

Another notable feature of MailSniff is its capability to create fully customizable email reports quickly and effectively.

Finally, MailSniff can be easily transferred between different Windows machines like win9x, win2000, winXP, and win2003. Overall, MailSniff is a versatile and robust tool for anyone who needs advanced email monitoring capabilities.
