Yes, I want to catch everything. The dev/qa environments use different
MTAs than production. The two environments contain approximately 1,500
linux/solaris hosts and, although they all run postfix, I don't have
control over their applications that utilize it. Basically, it's BECAUSE
they've had a bad history of flooding our corporate exchange servers
with garbage that I want to create a place to store all emails they
send, at-least long enough for those who want to see what they created
can read them, before they are summarily-deleted automatically. It's
partially a punishment to them for their lack of understanding of what
emails can do to other systems, and partially to protect Exchange from
filling up with garbage.

My hope is that I could create a separate maildir for each recipient,
no-matter if the recipient has a standard corporate email address, or
even r...@postfix.org for all intents and purposes. I could easily write
a cron to go down through all the maildirs and cull old stuff older than
say a week. People who want to see what the emails contain could then
imap in as whatever userid they want (another area for me to figure out
- passwordless-imapd) and see those emails.

Thanks,

Eric
