I preprocess via a procmail filter -- you can pump mail directly into procmail
via your aliases file, or create an account that calls it through a .forward
file (I'm guessing this works the same way as sendmail).
Here's a quick and easy .procmailrc to do it (replace TAB with actual tab
character):
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
UMASK=133
SHELL=/bin/sh
DATE=`date +%b%y`
BACKUPARCHIVE="$DATE/backup.mbox"
# If people don't want to be archived, then remove their
# message
:0
* ^(X-no-archive: yes|Restrict: no-external-archive)
/dev/null
# Save a backup of all incoming mail
:0:
$BACKUPARCHIVE
# Note the lock -- why not let procmail do the locking instead
# of the overhead of Perl and MHonArc to do the checking?
:0:
| mhonarc -add -umask 023 -outdir /mnt/WWW/htdocs/lists/$DATE
There's a lot more that you can do, but this is simple enough to get
the job done. Untested, but I think it'll work.
