IMHO, best thing to do is hack the say verb of the room you want to spy 
on, or the :tell verb of certain players you want to spy on, of even the 
:notify verb, and dump all info into a database-object-thing. You can use 
FUP to write it out into a non-MOO file, or if you fancy trouble, try to 
extract it from the .db file :-)

If you /really/ want it to happen during checkpointing, you should
create/alter #0:checkpoint_started() (or _finished()), and make it initiate 
the dump routine. 

You could, alternatively, hack the MOO server itself, the notify routine 
to log the messages, and the dump routine for writing it away... But, 
only do this if you know what you are doing, and beware even then. 

Hacking servers is what the Devil gave MUDders, and look howmany MUD/MUSH 
versions there are :-) MOO is good code, so good it frightens people when 
it crashes (that hardly happens in the MUSHes i know. MUSH crashes, "duh, 
who cares, lez start up again then.") and hacking in it yourself might 
remove a lot of stability from it.

Hm, not much i'm afraid... But it probably has to do only with the 
sending of email to the user... like you didn't compile with network 
enabled, or you forgot to put $network.active to true (1)... Or you might 
have problems with the mailserver (check out $network for the settings)

Hope it helps a bit.
