RE: Sniffing Mail Traffic - Outlook --> Exchange Server

[Craig Wright <Craig.Wright () bdo com au>]

Hi,
Microsoft has released details on most of their proprietary protocols.They are not hidden any longer.

The Microsoft Communications Protocol Program (MCPP) technical documentation set provides detailed technical 
specifications for Microsoft proprietary protocols (including extensions to industry-standard or other published 
protocols) that are implemented and used in Windows client operating systems (namely Windows 2000 Professional and 
successors up to and including Windows Vista) to interoperate or communicate natively with Windows Server operating 
systems (namely Windows NT 3.1 up to and including Windows Server 2008). The documentation set includes a set of 
companion overview and reference documents that supplement the technical specifications with conceptual background, 
overviews of inter-protocol relationships and interactions, and technical reference information, such as common data 
types and error codes.

MAPI is included as are most of the RPC's
