The feature you are looking for is done via bcc, specifically sender_bcc_maps: from man 5 postconf: sender_bcc_maps (default: empty) Optional BCC (blind carbon-copy) address lookup tables, indexed by sender address. The BCC address (multiple results are not supported) is added when mail enters from outside of Postfix. Configuration looks something like this: sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_bcc /etc/postfix/sender_bcc someuser@yourdomain.com special_address@yourdomain.com This will make a copy of all outgoing mail and inject it into something that looks like inbound mail so you can then get fancy and throw procmail in the loop or whatever you want to do. The example I included above would send it to a single account, but you could do that however you want. Your request is touching on a more broad topic of "email archiving" and a google search in there might be beneficial if you are curious of the options that exist out there .
