    Hi, I need to write a .NET application for one of my Clients that requires monitoring and recording chat sessions in messengers like MSN, Yahoo, AOL etc. Also I need to capture the emails from different email clients. Kind of a Spyware application. I know there are applications available in the market already built for this purpose. But I need to write one of my own for some client specific reasons. Is there some documentation or tutorials or some sample C# or VB.NET code I can find? Even a pointer in the right direction is appreciated. Babu. Babu Mannaravalappil

      Given that everyone hates spyware, I'd be surprised if anyone helped you with this. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

          This is actually a pretty large project you're looking to undertake. Each of those programs, and quite possibly each version of those programs, would need a custom "spy" tool implemented. It's also a massive invasion of privacy, and I think Christian is probably correct that you're not likely to get any help here (or anywhere else).

            Easiest is to grab an open source IM server, make the changes to that. Then set your firewall so that people cannot connect to any other server. This also gets around the problem of users who uninstall your software. Not an easy problem though. For those who are surprized I'm helping: SEC regulations require some companies in the US to store all communication for 7 years. E-mail is for sure included, and most people read that to mean IM as well.
