We have a 6.01-01 box in a production environment.

We currently run a W2K box with Exchange and will soon dump Exchange to go to qmail on the SME box. In our current config we have an add-on to Exchange called Company Mail Tracker. Every single email inwards, outwards or sent between local LAN clients is copied, complete with all attachments, to a separate mail account for security purposes. This includes all mail done on the webmail interface.

Is there a simple method to do this in SME?

Searches have revealed part answers to our issue but nothing that gives me the confidence to test, even in an isolated test server role, on our current SME box (or clone).

A complication here is that we have the following relevant contribs installed:

Mailfront mailrules, Jesper's Spam filter and the ClamAV contrib by Damien and Jesper.

Lazyadmin is installed but this was done in desperation regarding procmail when spam was not getting processed to a junkmail folder.

Any suggestions?

Pardon? I did search and I did find the thread you link to and no, it doesn't answer the question. But you're welcome to read my question again if you don't agree.

Sorry missed section where you say you use Windows for emailing, the above link is how you would archive emails incoming and outgoing if you was using SME as your mailserver

Unfortunately the linked thread doesn't really answer the question where SME is the mailserver with our given circumstances.

The extra contribs add an extra complication. That is the crux of the question.
