Preservation of original envelope when always_bcc
Dear Friends, I'm currently using always_bcc to archive inbound and outbound of my postfix server. What do I have to do to preserve the original envelope of the e-mails sent? I search the mailinglist archive at postfix users but couldnt find a clear solution. Thanks Jay

Use a regular expression: /etc/postfix/main.cf: recipient_bcc_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/recipient_bcc recipient_delimiter = + /etc/postfix/recipient_bcc: /^(.*)@(.*)/bcc+$1=$2...@example.com (it would also work with recipient_delimiter = -, and bcc-$1=$2...@example.com).

Re: Preservation of original envelope when always_bcc
Hi Wietse, Thanks for the swift response! 1. recipient_bcc maps is only does inbound mail right ? I have to set sender_bcc as well to catch the outbound? 2. bcc+$1=$2...@example.com is not clear for me. basically i have setup another e-mail address to which primary postfix should send the archive messages to.

Janantha Marasinghe: Hi Wietse, Thanks for the swift response! 1. recipient_bcc maps is only does inbound mail right ? I have to set sender_bcc as well to catch the outbound? Postfix has no concept of inbound or outbound mail. It receives mail and gives it to the delivery agent that is responsible for the recipient's domain. The example makes BCC copies of ALL email, preserving ALL envelope recipient addresses, regardless of whether a recipient is local or remote. 2. bcc+$1=$2...@example.com is not clear for me. basically i have setup another e-mail address to which primary postfix should send the archive messages to. bcc is the name example.com is the domain. You are supposed to provide the actual name and domain. Wietse
Re: Preservation of original envelope when always_bcc
Hi Wietse, Thanks for clarification. Now I got it. so if the mail address where the archive mail should go is arch...@example.com then the in the /etc/postfix/recipient_bcc: it would be the following right? /^(.*)@(.*)/archive+$1=$2...@example.com On 2/23/2012 9:41 PM, Wietse Venema wrote: Janantha Marasinghe: Hi Wietse, Thanks for the swift response! 1. recipient_bcc maps is only does inbound mail right ?
