In nearly fifteen years as a Bb sysad at private and public schools I've never seen this sort of request. Are they looking for something specific or just fishing? Has this been subpoenaed? I mean, you could dump a few megabytes of log files on them and wish them well, but why are they asking in the first place?

Walking that back a bit. The bb-email-log.<date>.txt file does record the sender, intended recipients, and subject line, but NOT the message contents. It also contains a message ID that might possibly correlate to logs that your mailserver might or might not have.

Contact your local system administrator and ask them to submit a ticket to Behind The Blackboard - that's Bb's tech support site. And document the heck out of everything so that if you have to challenge the final grade, you have all your ducks in a row.

If the date-time stamp of the file that you emailed is before the due date, that should be evidence that you completed the assignment on time. Also, it seems to be that a student who wanted to buy time would submit a garbled file, not one where code had been stripped and replaced by XXX's in exactly the same way that Bb is known to do.

Try emailing the file, or zipping it and attaching, or changing the extension. Surely you're not the only student affected by this.
