This ought to work; I use something very similar: To every transport listed in /etc/smail/transports, add "shadow=keepit". That is, one of the transports might look like: local: driver=appendfile, from, local, inet, return_path, unix_from_hack, shadow=keepit; append_as_user, check_user, file=/var/spool/mail/${lc:strip:user}, group=mail, mode=0660, notify_comsat, suffix="\n" Then, add this to the end: keepit: driver=pipe, from, local, inet, return_path, unix_from_hack; cmd="/usr/local/bin/keepitmail 0", umask=0077, user=root, group=mail, parent_env, -ignore_status Now, make /usr/local/bin/keepitmail the following script: #!/bin/sh LOGDIR="/var/log/mailstorage"; MAILLOGPREFIX="mailstorage"; STOREFILE="$MAILLOGPREFIX.`date +%Y%m%d`"; cat >> $LOGDIR/$STOREFILE echo >> $LOGDIR/$STOREFILE exit $1; Note that this only logs mail that is successfully passed on to the outside world or delivered locally. You could add "error=errorkeepitmail" to each transport and then add: errorkeepit: driver=pipe, from, local, inet, return_path, unix_from_hack; cmd="/usr/local/bin/keepitmail 1", umask=0077, user=root, group=mail, parent_env, -ignore_status To the end to log mail with errors as well. However, this might make mail bounced for errors not have the correct error message. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
