Okay, I asked about the approx 8 months ago and the issue has come up again.

Basically, client is running an MS based based mail relay for the natted
network. Archiving is turned on, on the MS relay. The management folks want
to be able to access a web based archive of all email in/out of the mail
relay machine for say the past month. This is so they can verify when a
message was sent/received.  After a month, the archive file (currently stored
in standard mbx format) is backed up to dvd and the file is zeroed and
restarted.  The plan is then to convert the mbx files to either discrete
emails or into  outlook pst format so the mails can easily be accessed
offline.

The web archive needs to be able to be restricted to specific users. Also
they need to be able to forward mail from the current archive to other
internal users or outside clients.  The ability to view the headers and keep
them intact when forwarding is very important as is the ability to view the
received/sent message in it's entirety along with attachments.

So, what do folks suggest now to accomplish the above?
