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@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@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 http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-November/026661.html)
Anyone got input or suggestion about my plans?
