keeping copies of outgoing mail

Currently I'm archiving incoming mail like this procmail recipe:

DATE=`date '+%y%m'`
# archive autmatically
:0c:
| gzip -fc9 >> $HOME/mbox_$DATE.gz

I'd like to try the same thing for outgoing mail. A user on
the procmail list suggested this:

Not sure how to set up postfix to split incoming and outgoing
servers.

Any tips or better ideas?

Actually, should that be sender_bcc_maps instead of
recipient_bcc_maps?

I just take a single feed to my archive via "always_bcc". This contains
both incoming and outgoing mail.

Its only drawback is that if you use a subsidiary service (e.g. running
spamc under the control of postfix) with its output returned to the
incoming SMTP queue you are likely to find each message duplicated in
the always_bcc output stream.
