bcc for email archiving
I am currently using always_bcc to archive email for the group I work with, I am not sure that we need an archive, but that not my call. The bcc option is attached to in the cleanup service in master.cf cleanup unixn-n-0cleanup .. -o always_bcc=archi...@example.com two questions. is there a better way of creating an archive? is there a way of using plus addressing in order to break the archive into manageable chunks, something like archives+...@example.com? TIA JLA
Re: bcc for email archiving
Hi! I use to use assp along with postfix, and I do the archiving configuration on ASSP, so that I can have separate SPAM and NOTSPAM archives. Anyway, I use Maildir format, and run a script that deletes messages older that 15 days, but I believe that a similar script can be used for moving/compressing old messages. I just use the find command to do the searching, I use the -atime command, because messages that are read on the archive are given a longer live time, but if you just care about when the file was modified, you could use -mtime. I hope this helps, Ildefonso Camargo On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 10:09 AM, KLaM Postmaster postmas...@klam.ca wrote: I am currently using always_bcc to archive email for the group I work with, I am not sure that we need an archive, but that not my call.

Yes, your archive does not record envelope recipients, only headers. Suggestions using recipient_bcc_maps are in the archives of this list. is there a way of using plus addressing in order to break the archive into manageable chunks, something like archives+...@example.com? You should be using a maildir. If you want multiple maildirs, you can use $process_id split deliveries over multiple maildir directories. archive unix ... virtual -o -o virtual_mailbox_base=/var/spool/archive -o virtual_mailbox_maps=static:$process_id/ then route mail for the archive user to the archive transport. -- Viktor.
