[SOLVED] How to take backup of all incoming / outgoing mail in sendmail

mail4vijay · 11-19-2009, 04:31 AM

Hi,

I am going to migrate exchange server 2003 to Sendmail(Smarthost + Fetchmail ) ... previously in exchange server 2003 there is one admin account who are taking backup of all incoming / outgoing mail for all domains configured in Exchange...

Can anyone please let me know how to take all incoming / outgoing mail backup in Sendmail... actually this is the business requirement.

I know how to do in Postfix like ( always_bcc = admin@example.com in main.cf ) but how to do that for Sendmail. I have installed Sendmail Currently for our environment.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

one way is to use logall.c, but then you have to recompile sendmail from source..
