Doubt a 'consensus' can be reached, as the needs differ.

If mail is never being re-injected, complete 'facist logging' of
traffic is very easily done in router/transport sets with 'unseen'.

Sub-selection, and delivery to storage are as flexible as you
care to code them.

The other methods also work.

None of those can easily *also* grab webmail via an outside
provider, whether sent from the workplace or an internet cafe
across the street, so.. 'imperfect' at best.

Among the drivers of choices:

- The law of the land

- Corporate Policy

- Morality and common sense

- Available server resources and storage space

- Desired method for access/review, compressed archiving.

FWIW, an 'announced' corporate policy of archiving *all* traffic
is less likely to lead to confrontation than monitoring only
selected staff surreptitiously.

These are not really Exim technical issues, but do contribute to
the need for more than one method.

HTH reduce the 'confusion'..
