And that's all what's needed.

Configure your postfix to honor subaddresses, IMHO, it's seperated by "+" 
in postfix, and pass it as argument of "-m" option to deliver.

Configure your MUA to always BCC to me+Sent at example.net

This config has three advantages over the traditional one:

1) you transmit the message over the wire just once.

2) you know that, if to send the message failed, the message is not sent, 
in opposite to differ from "upload to Sent via IMAP failed" in the second 
stage.

3) the message in your Sent mailbox has the queueid. Debugging is much 
easier.

One disadvantage:

1) If the message is accepted, but for what reason ever is discarded by 
the MTA, the data is lost.
