I'd like to have a mechanism to transparently archive all email to and from
a small group of users on my sendmail/pop/imap2000 server. This would be
with full knowledge of the participants, they need a record of all
correspondence during a specific period of time, and I want to centralize
that process.

I'd like to retain the sender/recipient information at the header level for
easy searching. The users are mapped virtusers, so if theres an alias
strategy that works, that might be the cleanest way to do it.

Can anyone suggest a sensible way to do this?

since sendmail will be handling all mail deliveries (pop and imap are
only local transfer agents, but they call an smtp daemon, like sendmail,
to send mail to another user),

-X logfile Log all traffic in and out of mailers in the indicated
log
file. This should only be used as a last resort for
debug-
ging mailer bugs. It will log a lot of data very
quickly.

sendmail ${NORMAL_FLAGS} -X

that should be possible on a lightly loaded server.
