Create an account to capture copies of all incoming mail, say archivemail.
Then set every users account to both deliver locally and to forward to archivemail account.

The alternative is to create a non standard qmail installation, which may be difficult to maintain when you do sme system upgrades. This was covered in some posts here, do a search. Ther were a couple of other suggestions also, find them by searching.
