This might be a MTA question, but because I use Dovecot as an LDA, maybe some can help me here…

Our users would like that outgoing mail is automatically saved in some folder, say Sent. We use Postfix with virtual domains, Maildir and Dovecot+Sieve as LDA. Outgoing mail is relayed by our imap-server (with authentification of course, no open relay).

Most people seem to advice Postfix sender_bcc_maps and Dovecot’s deliver with the –m argument. But I can’t get it work. I tried:

In master.cf:

dovecot-archive   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe

  flags=DRhu user=mailowner:mailowner argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -m Sent

In main.cf:

sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_bcc_map

In sender_bcc_map:

tester@ruijs.cc           dovecot-archive:

But that doesn’t work. It looks like “dovecot-archive:” should be a real email address, not a transport (this give an idea of my Postfix knowledge ;). Then I tried:

In sender_bcc_map:

tester@ruijs.cc           tester+archive@ruijs.cc

But I don’t think Dovecot’s LDA supports plus addressing.

So my question is, has anyone here done a similar thing in a similar setting. If so, how did you configure it.

Thans,

Mark
