How can I track how many e-mails are sent to a Distribution list?

I need to see how many e-mails are being sent to one of my

distribution list. I have a Exchange server inplace but no monitoring
turned on. Is there any easy way to pull this information from the
outlook client or the Exchange server?

Well, for the future, I'd turn on message tracking, or add a mailbox to the
DL and hide it from the GAL.

For now, you can't see anything on the Exchange server, but you may want
to ask in microsoft.public.exchange.admin to be sure.

On the Outlook side, I guess you could write a tool that would access each
users Sent Items folder and dump the list of messages and hope that no one
deletes their sent items.
