Sounds like what you really want is a TAP
A TAP is an account (on the same domain or not) that receives a copy of
all in outbound mail. (My guess is that you need this for regulatory
or record keeping needs?).
To create (turn on) a TAP, create a file in your control directory
called taps. Each line of this file will specify a unique tap.
(NOTE: the TAP functionality is NOT a standard part of QMail, but the
patch is included in the QMT setup)
For example, using QMT, you want to:
# touch /var/qmail/control/taps
You can TAP an individual account (I tap my kid's e-mails) or an entire
domain.
- To tap an individual user, use a line in the taps file that looks like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- To tap an entire domain, use a line in the taps file that looks like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NOTE: In the case of tapping an individual user, I believe you can use a
destination e-mail address (mail_collector) that is on the same domain.
However, in the case of tapping an entire domain, I believe you must use
an outside (alternative) domain -- so that you don't create a loop! Mind
you, the OTHERDOMAIN doesn't have to be a REAL Internet domain! If you
create a local domain, all the mail delivery will be internal.
For example, on my systems (where I host multiple domains), I have an
INTERNAL domain called TAPS.LOCAL. Clients that pay for a TAP have a
username of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, as an example, suppose my client owns the domain SOMEDOMAIN.COM, and
pays me to host their e-mail. They additionally want/need a TAP account.
In addition to all their normal users (mail accounts, forwards, lists,
etc.), they are given an account called [EMAIL PROTECTED] that
collects ALL of the messages in out of the SOMEDOMAIN.COM e-mail
system. (NOTE: This account gets BIG -- FAST! That's why I charge extra
for a TAP account!) NOTE: My clients don't generally have POP or IMAP
access to this account, as that's generally the whole POINT of a TAP:
making sure you have a complete record of e-mails!
If you need additional assistance (I have a few financial legal office
clients who use this functionality), please feel free to contact me.
I hope this helps... someone!
