way to simply have tap store all this mail to a local text file?

QMT uses the Maildir format, so each email is already in a text file format. When tap sends a copy to a new email address, in that directory (/home/vpopmail/domains/newdomain/newuser/Maildir/new/) it creates a text file with the message stamp. You can then do whatever you want with it in theory.
