I have near 100 e-mail accounts, actually, not real people but projects.
Yes I setup one e-mail acount for each of our projects. Our engineers read
project´s e-mail from html pages. Using sendmail´s .forward, MHonArc
convert messages as they are received.
Note, for long term usage, you may want to consider a cron method
of archiving as discussed in the past on this list. It allows for
better error management and is easier to scale as archives grow.
I would like to proccess project´s sent messages as they are sent by
sendmail insted of the eudora´s out.mbx aproach. It will not work to ask
all our engineers to use CC in all messages they send from project´s
e-mail. Some will do, some not.
I am assuming that mail sent from these project accounts can go
to any arbitrary destination.
It appears that the solution requires some pre-filtering on the
sendmail/MTA side that detects project-based outgoing mail so it can be
copied for archival purposes. Off-hand, I do not know what the
solution is, but I believe people have done something similiar (not
necessarily MHonArc users). I would start by looking at the sendmail
FAQ and to look into Procmail. It may be possible to have Procmail
process out-going mail, but I am not sure.
Maybe there are some MHonArc users that have some direct experience
with pre-filtering mail at the sendmail level that can provide some
assistance.
