I know this is a touchy subject for some of you, but I am
the sysadmin, and have been asked to provide some info about
a user.

I am trying to get sniffit to work, but can't seem to pick up
any packets from the Win machines.  I can sniff
my own laptop (Linux) with something like:
sniffit -p 25 -l 0 -P tcp -b -s 192.168.3.44 -F eth&
and grab some info. But the same does not work on a windows
machine. I'm looking to grab the mail sent from a PC.

I don't want to begin a long drawn out discussion 'bout privacy,
I'm all for it. But I do have a boss, and need to give what he asks
for, yet I feel dumbfounded in how.
