1) Copying all incoming mail for backup (or other) purposes
With the obvious caveat of .forward-esque user overrides (assuming that
your MTA supports such, that the functionality is enabled and the user
can actually edit their configuration).
2) Rewriting various addresses (project(_at_)foo(_dot_)com -->
proj_manager(_at_)foo(_dot_)com)
Arguably, this is better handled in the MTA, either via an MTA-supplied
rewriting engine (Postfix's virtual, Sendmail's mailertable, etc) or an
aliasing mechanism (/etc/aliases), as the MTA is already directly
involved in the handling of address mangling (for local injections, or
for distribution lists, as examples).
3) Blocking objectionable mail
4) Stripping attachments, etc
Here's where it shines, but again with the caveat that a user's .forward
may override your wishes.
