You can create filter rules to see this :



/ip firewall filter
add action=log chain=forward disabled=no dst-port=25 log-prefix=!!smtp protocol=tcp
add action=log chain=forward disabled=no dst-port=110 log-prefix=!pop3 protocol=tcp


with these you shall see when packets are going to these ports .. but you will not see whats in the packets .. if you want that you will need to go to tools packet sniffer and setup the sniffer accordingly..

All packet sniffer information can be found at
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:To ... et_Sniffer

You can find the packet sniffer in winbox if you go to tools -> packet sniffer.
