True, but it is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong, that with Postfix, the BCC-option forces a copy of the email (regardless of which user sent it) to be delivered to a single email-address? This would, at least the way I see it, mean that the filtering only needs to be done by a single user (the owner of the bcc-email address). Eg: Email client | Postfix -> external SMTP-server | BCC to <bcc-user>@mydomain | Postfix | filtering tool for user "bcc-user" | delivery into senders "sent" folder sender is determined by checking the "mail-from" header > > The basic idea should be possible to be implemented with any > > filtering method along with any mail-storage option you want.

I hope my reply made it clear that I was not 100% certain? :) -- Joost
