Default Mail Archiving

Hi All,

We would like the ability to archive and search all email preferably
after it has been sorted into users mailboxes.

At the moment we use the .forward files to send a copy of each email to
a user called "mailcopy" and the boss has Outlook setup to move each
mail into a folder using the rules wizard. I know that many of you will
already be laughing like the aliens in the smash adverts (Old UK joke -
sorry!) but the boss has been wowed by an Exchange setup where
management can "see" every mailbox.

What would the best Postfix/? solution be?

Listening out... TIA



Simon

Simply add following to postfix's main.cf:
always_bcc = username

Plus: this works for virtual users aswell!

In germany a solution your boss wants you to implement is STRICKLY
PROHOBITED btw :)

Thanks Florian,

We don't want to snoop personal mails but we have a few accounts such as
SALES@ourcompany.com which more than one person needs.

At the moment we copy the emails to 2 peoples inboxes but this is
awkward because each person doesn't know if the other has answered.

Is there an easy way for more than one person to access a mailbox?

Simon

Hi!

Use IMAP to access the mailbox! And define this mailbox as shared in
your IMAP setup.

I have no idea how to setup this, but I know there are a lot of IMAP
Servers which provide mailbox sharing. e.g Courier.

Regards

Marco
