WOW, I love this list;
This problem had ben haunting me for weeks, and then all of a sudden I have
different solutions
My original question was how to copy all outbound mail from a given SMTP mailer?
Following are the replies received. The best one IMO is a command line switch for
sendmail i.e. /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m -X/var/log/thoughtfile

Subject: Copying all outbound mail
Hi there;
A customer of ours wants to keep a copy of every outbound mail from =
their
domain. They have a SUN Netra 4 with SMI V8 Sendmail.
I'm not quite sure how to implement this, but can think of maybe
a wrapper of senmdail or perhaps rewriting a rule. Keeping copies
of all incoming mail can be done with /etc/alias entre for every
user un the manner of:
user: \user,/var/log/thoughtpolice
What is giving me a headache is being able to keep a copy of =
every
outgoing mail for the domain. SMTP outbound can be restricted to
only the netra at the router so that everyone HAS to use the =
netra
as smtp mailer. I'm kind of stuck as to how archive every single =
mail
that sendmail sends :-(
Any help would be greatly appretiated.

Could you make a new mailer that dups/archives, then identify it
in the config file?
Just a wild guess....

sendmail uses mailer lines to direct outgoing mail.
What you could do is change the internet mailer definition to a
mail that does remote SMTP but also saves the message to a file.

Hello,
I'm not 100% sure how to record only outgoing mail, but you can easily =
record ALL mail sent via sendmail using the -X option on the command =
line,
e.g.
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q1h -X/some/location/and/file
The above will record all mail received and sent to the file =
/some/location/and/file, obviously the preceding options will be =
different for your site.
Cheers
Harry.
