You can use tee(1) to both print to stdout and write to a file:

socat -lu STDIO TCP-LISTEN:8080,reuseaddr |tee stdout.log

The default logging of socat still goes to stderr.

Your question is not very clear, but I think you want to write the data you receive from the socket into a file, so the receiving end becomes:

socat TCP-LISTEN:25,reuseaddr,fork OPEN:data.txt,creat,append
