Hi Timo,
I have a question on the feasibility of adding the capability directly in dovecot LDA (or maybe this wouldn't be the correct place?) to provide a server-side mail archiving feature.
What I'd like is a simple way to define a maildir, ie:
vmail/archive/$user/Inbox and vmail/archive/$user/Inbox.Sent
And then have the dovecot LDA deliver a copy of all mail (incoming and outgoing) to this archive folder.
Is the dovecot LDA the best place for this to go? Or would an entirely new plug-in be more appropriate?
My boss may be willing to pay to have this capability added. I have investigated other third party solutions, but I would prefer something that is tightly integrated with dovecot.
I look forward to your response...
As discussed elsewhere in this thread, the LDA is not the appropriate place for this feature, the MTA is. I do something similar already with sendmail using milters. As I understand it, postfix also has milter capability, so a postfix/milter guru is likely what you're looking for.
