    Resolved [RESOLVED] [VB6] Listening to a port via Winsock.

    Is there anyway to listen to an already opened port (sniffing?), say SMTP, without using a proxy then grab the relevant information...... I need to grab some information from SMTP traffic of my own mail server in real-time...

    TIA

    There was a library released for doing exactly this...the name escapes me though...
    Oh!
    WinPcap

    Google for PacketX, it uses the WinPcap library in the form of an OCX that makes packet sniffing VERY easy. The downside is it is a trial, which I discovered to my dismay in about a month's time.
