QUEUE_EXTRA is a compile-time configuration variable that specifies an additional recipient that will be added to every delivery.

To use QUEUE_EXTRA, edit extra.h specifying the additional recipient in the format "Trecipient\0", and the length of the QUEUE_EXTRA string in QUEUE_EXTRALEN (the "\0" counts as one character). For example:

#define QUEUE_EXTRA "Ttracker\0" #define QUEUE_EXTRALEN 5 #define what size u require from each e-mail.

After editing make sure qmail is stop or kill the qmail. run make setup check and start qmail.

Populate ~alias/.qmail-tracker with whatever logging you want. E.g., to log Message-ID's:

| awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'

hi folks, Has anyone tried the QUEUE_EXTRA or QUEUE_EXTRALEN options in qmail to keep a copy of all incoming/outgoing messages? I wanted to know how it works when I'm using qmail with maildir format, how i can search and retrieve emails etc. What happens to attachments? Does it store one copy for all the reciepients, or stores multiple copies if multiple people are present in the To or CC fields..

It just add one additional recipient. So hardly matters with To: Cc: Bcc:.

basically-how does the stuff work, if it does.

Yup A pop account watchdog And in file extra.h

#define QUEUE_EXTRA "Twatchdog\0" #define QUEUE_EXTRALEN 10 #10 is the size of "Twatchdog\0" including '\0' #will vary with the name(watchdog here).

Also an alias entry - .qmail-watchdog with line in it... ./msg-watchdog

I wanted to know how it works when I'm using qmail with maildir format, how i can search and retrieve emails etc.

It will forward all mails received by qmail to this account including mails from root,anonymous etc.

What happens to attachments? Does it store one copy for all the reciepients, or stores multiple copies if multiple people are present in the To or CC fields..

Multiple copies
