Archiving all incoming/outgoing email

X

xy16644

Currently I am running Postfix, SpamAssassin and Procmail to process/filter/deliver all my email.

The one thing I would like to do is keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing emails. Basically I would like to create a daily archive of all emails.

Would this be done by a script or configured somewhere else?
 
Thanks for that. I have enabled the always_bcc option but it doesn't seem to be behaving like I thought it would. In my /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf file I have added:
Code: 
always_bcc = copyemail@domain.com

But when I send a test email from Gmail to my account (test@domain.com) theres TWO copies of the test email in the CopyEmail mailbox. When I looked in the /var/log/maillog it had some strange messages that weren't normally there:
Code:

What am I missing? Are there some more options that need setting for the always_bcc option? I know the account in the logs above has an alias email address (bob and xy16644) but even when I try to email an account with only one email address I still get two emails in the mailbox I have specified in the always_bcc options (copyemail@bsdpanic.com).
 
I think the duplication might be due to your spamd setup. When a message comes in, it gets bcc'd once and then delivered to your spamd service. When spamd is done with the message, it delivers it back to Postfix, and this gets bcc'd again.

You probably need to add the option to master.cf instead, in such a way that always_bcc is only seen before spamd or only after it, not both.
 
I want to add something about bcc settings, I had been working with sender_ && recipient_ settings, this two options are monitoring one user, but that user had set up his mail client that always request "answer" when you open the email.

In my case I create 1 account called "audit at x. z" every time the user send a email this account return the "answer" email to this user.

The point is, you want to enable this to all users, this catch my attention because if you have ten users that enable the option "user required your answer" just calculate how many emails the users will receive from the monitor account, they will call you about it.

This is my comment only, greetings :)
