AFAIK, there is no readymade solution for this. Decipher- ing through contents of mail/text is very much a "human" task. Some rudimentary checks for key words can be made, but cannot replace the manual bit.

As a sysadmin, I ass- ume that you are offloading all mails centrally, and then distributing to users' mail boxes. If you use procmail to do the distribution you can have multiple copies deli- vered to backup/ duplicate mbox files/ maildirs as well. Any MTA will do ... can post sample .procmailrc entries to you if needed. Regarding pruning outgoing mail, I second Devdas's idea of using a mailing list manager (mailman is quite okay).
