As you probably noticed questions about simulating postfix's always_bcc are sent to the list every month. Last is yesterdays "[exim] Backup Incoming/outgoing Mail". Archiving incoming mails is pretty easy and straightforward, like final_delivery: ... shadow_transport = archive_incoming archive_incoming: driver = appendfile file = /mail/archive/mail-to/${domain}/${local_part}/${tod_logfile} with this scheme recovery of lost mail is really simple. It would be really useful to make it work for outgoing mails... There's bug filled http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335 where Philip commented "Unless a lot of work is done, this would be restricted to another remote transport." so it seems it's just not implemented and it's won't be easy to do... bad news regards -- Marcin Gryszkalis, PGP 0x9F183FA3 jabber jid:[EMAIL PROTECTED], gg:2532994 http://the.fork.pl -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
