How to seach the Exchange message store or find previously sent messages
We need to seach our Exchange message store for ANY previous messages sent to a specific domain. We have not previously configured any additinoal software or features that will do this except for what Exchange turns on by defualt. Any immediate help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering about exmerge too but if there are to many users then its a daunting task.
Exmerge isn't manual - it doesn't matter if you have 1 user or 100
Exchange System Manager has a tool called Message Tracking tool. However, this tool used primarily for troubleshooting NDRs. Exmerge is an option.
The message tracking tool requires that you have logging turned on. By default logging is not turned on. Therefore you will not able to use message tracking tool.
Go into Exchange System Manager. Right Click on the Server. And choose Properties. In the General Tab.
You could do either of the following.
1. check the "Enable Message Tracking" or
2. Check "Remove log files". Enter a number next to "Remove files older than (days)"
I would keep this message tracking logs and choose option 2 and keep logs file for 7 days.
Exchange's Message Tracking tool is very valablue tool for troubleshooting and resolving NDRs.
If you don't check the second option logfiles that Exchange generates could in a few days fill up all the free space on your hard disks.
