Set up a program alias.
Have IMail copy all messages to this address (SMTP setting).
Your program alias will be called with a temp file name.
Move the file (it will reside in the spool directory and you don't want it to build up there).
You can either append each message to a file then rotate the file out to archive with a scheduled task, or you can rename each message to ensure uniqueness and store it in a holding directory. If you take the directory approach you can archive the holding directory to a date-stamped zip each day and then store the zips in a year/month/ tree.
Hope this helps, _M

I'm getting asked to research the storage, archiving and possibly the retrieval of messages which might be years old. Is anyone using an in house product to maintain an archive of all email messages that transfer through your host machine?
From reviewing some outsourced products, I think it would be easier bath a wild mountain lion than to bring this project in house.
