Use QUEUE_EXTRA[1] to copy all messages to a "log" address, then set
up ~alias/.qmail-log to identify the "outgoing"[2] messages and save a
copy[3].


Footnotes:
[1] http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#queue_extra

[2] Define "outgoing". Originated by a local user? Originated from a
local system? Does that include mail from a local user to another
local user? Or maybe it means "not originated from an external
user"? Or "not delivered to a local user"?

[3] You can't forward from ~alias/.qmail-log when using QUEUE_EXTRA
because a delivery loop will occur--unless you forward through a
mechanism that bypasses QUEUE_EXTRA, like a second qmail
installation.

With QUEUE_EXTRA, *all* messages that pass through that qmail
installation will be delivered to ~alias/.qmail-log. If you want to
log them all, just put something like:

./Maillog/

in .qmail-log and run "maildirmake ~alias/Maillog".

If you want to be more selective, e.g., only logging "outgoing"
messages, you first need to define what you mean by an outgoing
message, then you can construct a .qmail-log that identifies outgoing
messages and logs them.

If .qmail-log contains an entry like:

&theboss@example.com

intended to send the boss a copy of every message, then *that*
forwarded message will go through QUEUE_EXTRA, and qmail will attempt
to forward it to theboss again, etc.

If you really can't settle for logging to a local mailbox, you can set
up a second qmail installation, say /var/qmail2, that doesn't use
QUEUE_EXTRA. Then in .qmail-log you can do something like:

|/var/qmail2/bin/forward theboss@example.com

But that's a pain in the ass.

Thanks Dave . I try to implement it.

Hi,

What I need to write in in .qmail-log so that "only outgoing "message
from aa @ domainname.com ,
bb @ domainname.com
go to boss @ domainname.com

I mean by "outgoing" is that message sent from
user aa @ domainname.com to anyone (local&outside) go to boss @
domainname.com .

Plz help .I do not install another qmail to do that job if
it possible with one qmail .
Thank a lot again for your replies .
