To run reports against MS Exchange server you basicaly have two choices:

1. Develop your own reporting tool and use Message Tracking on the IMC

2. Third party application in which to report against exchange.

The packages available for reporting cost quite a bit so creating your own tool to bump up against the message tracking is going to take a little more time, but much cheeper. You should be able to use Crytstal Reports with some custom design.

My company is willing to buy anyway. Please let me know which third party utility available. I have run into third party utility called PROMODAG REPORT but the company is in France.

One easy way to get the number you need is to implement message journalling using IMSEXT.DLL and then importing the text file into a simple database (e.g. Access) or spreadsheet.

You can access the Exchange database using CDO but I'm not sure there is a field that keeps track of the total number of e-mail messages processed.

You might also look at the Exchange extensions to Performance Monitor to see if there are any measures that might prove useful.
