You *could* do it if you wrote your own mail program in php...but it would only be useful for sending, not receiving.

You're going to have to parse your email server's log files.
Why
do you need to do this?

Let me make my problem more clear
In my office i have about 50 computers and the employees send mails after logging in to yahoo from www.yahoo.com or any other mail service like gmail or hotmail, but they are using iexplorer/firefox to browse. Now when they send mails those mails I want to check if they dont violates the policy I will allow to send otherwise he will be denied to send mail and this violation will be logged in DB , so that later Admin can check who violates the policy. policy will be like "Emails Cant have Digits etc."
I want this thing.
Plz if any body can help.....
regards
sohail

I highly doubt you're going to get help from this forum on doing anything that un-ethical.  You're better off managing your employees well.
Edit: and no, you can't do that in php.

Your only real options are to use keyloggers, or require employees to use a company mail server. This is not something that you can do in PHP.
Keep in mind what your trying to do is very unethical, and your employees will grow to hate you if you decide to do it.
Attempting to take logs off of mail servers owned by different companies (ie yahoo) is most likely illegal.

Look guys
I know logging mails in such a way might be unethical but i am asked to do it. I m not the BOSS. well I couldn't on that time, because i told, I am not enough experienced to do it , but this is really a kind of challenge for me.
and one thing more I am not taking mails from yahoo etc , I just want to keep check of my Employees. e.g I can restrict my employees not send unethical text etc.
I hope now you people got to the bottom of the problem.
Can I have such a script that when anybody sends mail first it goes to a specific computer in LAN and then check for all these policies.
Guys its not illegal. My employees will agree to these terms. And by the way i am not implementing it in office, i refused for it 2months earlier bcz i was not able to do it, but now this is a kind of challenge. Hey Plz help me. This is a very powerful idea.
Plz tell me all possible solutions
Regards
sohail

I don't think it's necessarily unethical to monitor and hold employees to a strict email policy, but I think in this case, if it's important enough to be this snoopy, I'd just block Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, and so on.
We have just such a policy where I work (US Government), and all these email applications are blocked (though not the entire site).
People get all touchy about this sort of thing, but really, when at work, one assumes one is supposed to be doing work, not emailing friends and surfing DevShed, Slashdot, and other non-productive sites. Well, DevShed could be work related...
In many business environments there are good reasons for restrictive email policies.
As to being possible in php, I think that it would be quite elementary to write some script that parsed the server server logs to see who is accessing free email sites, I'm sure there is a ton of information in there.
One can probably even write some some deamond that sits in the background and forwards real-time data to the head snoop. But why build what is available off the shelf?
