I need to find out who sent mail to one of my users, when it was sent and how large the email is.
Is there a way to do this in Exchange 5.5?

Install a proxy server, like wingate.

You'll know all about your users, e-mails, site visited...

If the messages are coming in via Internet you can achieve this by capturing the Header Information for the who and when. Set the IMC Diagnostic Logging for the SMTP Protocol Log to max (caution this log wil grab everything). If you want a full copyof the message, then set the IMC Diagnostiv Logging for Archive Messages to max. (caution this will consume disk space)

If the message is internal, you can turn on message journaling for all MTAs and also turn on the message tracking for all MTAs. Also turn on the Diagnostic Logging for the MTA to Medium or higher.

For more information on these built functions you will want to search for SMTP Protocol Log, Message Archiving, Message Journaling & MTA Diagnostic Logging. These utilities andfeatures are free with Exchange, but come with a price of disk-space consumption.

If you want something more elaborate for monitoring and management then you will want a 3rd party tool. Check out these sites for a tool that fits oyur need:
