Backup/Archive all email coming into server

[codesmith]

I have a hosting customer that wants all email copied for backup that comes into any email account setup. Does anyone have any experience doing this? I'm guessing there's going to need to be some patch for qmail to allow it. Or maybe qmail-scanner could do it?

You could add a redirect to all mailboxes that stores a copy in a separate mailbox.

Did some more researching and a great solution came up using qmail scanner. There's an archive setting that allows for archiving some/all domains to a separate directory. You can set the $archiveit variable to a regex expression to match the domains you want to archive.

I used the qmail scanner that's in atomic turtle's repositories for Plesk.

hi codesmith,

We are getting also requests from customers who want to use archiving.
We indeed for this page with some info http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/
but as we only use qmail as is from Plesk we have little knowledge how to do it.

Are you able to give us some info on how you accomplished it for your server.

thanks, Patrick
