Postfix (always bcc a copy of mail)

[The_Tree]

Hi all

I have a mail filter setup to filter my messages before passing the email to our corporate mail system ( horrible tobit)

anyways

I have setup the system to filter mail ok using the gentoo postfix mail filter how too and updates where necessary

I also want to keep a copy of every mail successfully passing thought the box.
by adding the following command to main.cf

always_bcc = archiving@emaill.address

but it's taking copies of mail before filtering with the first instance of postfix smtpd which is just forwarding to amavisd-new
I only want to take copies of the emails when the returned back from amavisd-new on the second instance of smtpd running.

any ideas.

thanks in advance

Sounds like you want to stick your always_bcc under the instance of smtpd that listens for amavisd, on 10025 or whatever, in master.cf.

No Tried that postfix stops.

I think always_bcc works with clean up ? or one of the other postfix daemons.

found it. it was to do with the clean up deamon.

in master.cf I made the following changes

added to this to my instance of smtpd that was accepting mail back from amavis-new

-o cleanup_service_name=cleanup2

then added the following


cleanup2 unix n - n - 0 cleanup
-o always_bcc=maill.address


then restarted postfix.

now cleanup2 adds the bcc not the first instance and then again on the return of the email from amavis.
hence removing the duplicate copies.
