[Gllug] exim: keeping copies of outgoing mail

[Jim Cheetham]

 From the Exim FAQ, almost what you want (well, a good start, anyway)

http://www.exim.org/FAQ.html#SEC358
Q9811: I want to make a copy of outgoing messages to a specific file for each
        user in a specific directory, using a "save" command in a system 
filter.
        How can I arrange for Exim to write to these files under the correct
        UID/GID?

A9811: You need to set up a special transport and tell Exim to use it for
        file deliveries from the system filter. Add the following setting to
        your configuration:
          message_filter_file_transport = copy_transport
Then define copy_transport like this
          copy_transport:
            driver = appendfile
            delivery_date_add
            envelope_to_add
            user = ${local_part:$sender_address}
This assumes that you want to run the delivery under the uid associated
        with the local part of the sender address. Alternatively, you could 
just
        use user=exim and do all the writing under the same UID/GID.


Basically, the magic is to create a new transport that acts as a filter, 
and specify the file name it writes to carefully.
