Hello, everyone.
To make life for our operations team easier I am looking at setting up a
mail mirror of any email
which gets sent from certain machines. My current ideas go along the
following lines:
Each machine will use the Postfix "always_bcc" option and set it to an
address like mailmirror at mailmirror.openlane.com.
On mailmirror I am looking at setting up Dovecot with public folders and
a number of users, which probably
will authenticate via Active Directory. I intend to create a main public
folder called MailMirror and then
underneath sub folders based on the sender email address in a format of
like "<sender>_<domain>".
Now the sub folders need to be created automatically when it doesn't
exist yet.
I think the best way to tie this in between Postfix and Dovecot is to
use an alias in Postfix
for mailmirror at mailmirror.openlane.com which will check if a public
folder exist or not. It will create
the folder and then deliver the message to the folder (maybe via safecat

Anyone got input or suggestion about my plans?
