Title: Send copy of all mail to user.
Post by: anarchos on February 18, 2004, 05:46:07 PM

I am needing to send a copy of all mail going through the server to an archive account.  Anyone know of a way to do this?

ie. mail to anyone@domain.com gets delivered to the right account, and also copied to archive@domain.com.

I've done this before with qmail-scanner, but not sure how that would work with SME 6 and it's implementation of spamassassin, etc.

Any ideas?

anarchos,

There may be other ways, but can't you do this:

create the account 'archive'

edit each user to 'both deliver locally and forward' assigning the archive@domain.com as the forward address.

This functionality is built into qmail but may require a switch change and recompile. Search the forums for queue_extra which is the name of the switch (if I remember correctly) used to enable the archive feature.

Thanks guys, I'm just going to go with the 'both deliver locally and forward' option as there aren't many users on this system.

Or why not use this...

 At your own risk  

1) From your closest mirror, download Charlie Brady's mailfront-0.86-1es2.i386.rpm contrib rpm. Example:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/RPMS/i386/mailfront-0.86-1es2.i386.rpm

2) Use the server-manager to add a user named 'maillog'

3) Add the rpm:
# rpm -Uvh mailfront-0.86-1es2.i386.rpm

4) Add the environment variable:
# echo maillog > /var/service/smtpfront-qmail/env/LOG_RECIPIENT

5) Send some e-mails and you should find messages delivered to intended recipients plus archival copies in the 'maillog' inbox.

The above is found here @ http://myezserver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=492

I use this to backup/archive my emails
