AW: Creating a backup of incoming mail

[Patrick De Zordo]

To backup all mail (incoming and outgoing), BCC all mails, you could do the following..

Add to your "/etc/postfix/main.cf" the following:
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Auto-Backup all mails
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
backuplmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1
lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1
recipient_bcc_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/backup_bcc.pcre
sender_bcc_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/backup_bcc.pcre
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a domain called "backup.local" in postfixadmin or whatever you use to edit your accounts..

Add every domain for which you like to activate incoming backup to " /etc/postfix/backup_bcc.pcre":
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/^(.*)@spamreducer\.eu$/      spamreducer.eu at backup.local
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add to your "/etc/postfix/master.cf" the following:
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
backuplmtp      unix  -       -       n       -       -       lmtp
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add to your "/etc/postfix/transport" the following:
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[backup.local] backuplmtp
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget to issue " postmap /etc/postfix/transport"..

For making folders based on "year/month" you have to use an appropriate sieve script.

Give me a feedback!
Bye!
