I had to solve this compliance issue with my last employer for a unix 
mail server and just added a generic rule to the sendmail config via a 
milter that saved ALL mail to an archive file. We then used logrotate to 
rotate and compress the file and gave it lots of space.
A nice side-effect of using the milter in this way is you got automatic 
de-duplication as long as the sender used CC and To appropriately. The 
splitting to mailboxes happened after the milter. People pay a lot for 
this sort of deduplication, normally.
