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. [snip]
If you really want a "mirror" use rsync.
What you outline is not a "mirror" at all, but a secondary mailhub, with a rather convoluted and inappropriate setup. If you wish to create distributed mailstores use postfix transports.
No, I am really talking about a copy of any email sent from a number of machines. Our developers use all kind of different ways to generate emails and reports and well, sometimes emails get lost (to outside customers) and we are getting asked to resend those reports. Unfortunately too often these emails or reports are not easy to reproduce and the developers didn't think of creating copies of the attached files.
So I am really looking at a copy of any email sent, to be stored at a central location, which a retention time of maybe 1 week.
