Email monitoring

Hi all.

I'm currently looking at an app that is going to Auto-Email customers when
certain actions take place. This is simple SMTP using the System.Web.Mail
space.

The problem I have is that I'm going to have to remove blocking on Port 25
within the Anti virus software used.

Is there a way to monitor the traffic going out on this port so I can create
a log of which applications are sending mail? I could then check the log to
ensure there weren't any worms present in the system.

Any ideas gratefuly recevied.

Cheers,
Tull.
