[Dovecot] What exactly do you mean by archiving?

[dhottinger at harrisonburg.k12.va.us]

I mean every single email sent and recieved is kept for a period of  
time (3 -5 years) separate from users mail, and emails cant be  
deleted.  Ideally emails would have compression, mailboxes need to be  
searchable easily, and some mechanism whereby attachments sent to  
multiple people only get saved once, and emails sent to multiple  
people only get saved once.  I could do something with procmail that  
copies every email coming in to another directory easily, but that  
doesnt solve the sent email.  Ive looked at several commercial  
products, but none seem to work nicely with sendmail.  Thanks for the  
information, I'll look and see if sieve will work better for me than  
procmail.  Im not sure thought that your method will pass the test  
come litigation time (if that every happens).

thanks,

ddh
