Then you are using the wrong tool.
For legal purposes, your message archives should be completely separate from your normal mail store.
Set up a parallel delivery system for your archiver.
Do you mean like, Postfix's "always_bcc = awilliam@mdah.state.ms.us" option? But, then I'm doubling my data. One copy is the user's email, and one copy for always_bcc. Then I have twice the data to back up, more CPU cycles to compress it to tape, etc...
If you use something like Postfix's recipient_bcc_maps you may not need to back up the live user-facing mailboxes at all, because you can have an archive mailbox for each user instead of the big shared dump you get with always_bcc.
