What does this term refer to? No references on google and my dictionaries aren't really helping either.

monitor data

Explanation:
Sounds like a Big-Brother-FBI-anti-terrorism-anti-industrial-espionage kind of monitoring of e-mail data

header

Explanation:
The only thing I can think of is the "header" of an email. The header contains data about the path the email has followed to reach the recipient.

public data, event logs

Explanation:
Gaat het hier misschien over een mailserver-programma zoals Mailtraq? In zulk programma kunnen gegevens worden getoond die de "postmaster" mag zien, nl. de communicatie tussen de verschillende mailservers (dit noemt men meestal de event log), en de gegevens die hij alleen mag tonen op bevel van een onderzoeksrechter. Deze event logs moeten inderdaad een tijd worden bijgehouden.
Maar als het hier niet over een mailserver-programma gaat, dan vertel ik hier wellicht klinkklare nonsens ...

email surveillance data/-email snooping data

Explanation:
see following link, and there many more for "meekijk" + Mail on Google that provide evidence of this equivalence.

Well, I agree that context is everything and probably should have put (e-mail snooping) in brackets since I wouldn't have suggested Northstar actually use this, but there is also a good analogy with "meeluisteren" which is used to translate the concept of "telephone surveillance" or "phone call monitoring". Oh, I know I had a late night but am I right that much of this site has been translated into Romanian :-)?

Also, Google gives us 61 million hits for e-mail surveillance and many of the links suggest that this has now become standard business practice. The surveillance is done by software, probably using regular expression tools, which is able to scan the e-mail and flag up significant content. The "meekijkgegens" would then be the data written to a log which a human would then review.
