The recipient_bcc_maps option in postfix allows directing mail to
additional addresses; you may want to split the incoming and
outgoing
mailservers so you only bcc for outgoing. (If you only want to
implement
this for your own account, most mailers have an automatic BCC
option as
well.)
Been thinking about this some more. I was thinking I'd need to set
up rules
for every user. But if I was to bcc some user I set up, say I named
it
"outgoing-archiver" although it doesn't matter really, I could set
up a
system-wide procmail rule like:
recipient_bcc_maps is the way to go, and you apss it a specific
procmailrc file that is only invoked for that.
The simplest rule to archive the outgoing mail would simply be:
:0fw
| gzip (or 7za or bzip2, whatever) >> /var/mail.archive.gz
:0:
That lock makes no sense.
* ! ^TO_$LOGNAME
* ^From:.*$LOGNAME
| gzip -fc9 >> $HOME/Sent_$DATE.gz
You probably want a fw flag to when you are piping to an external
program.
What do you think?
I think archiving outbound email is questionable unless you are a
corporation that is required to do so by law.
