The best way is to add a fresh transport (say backup_trn) which writes the
incoming mail to (say) /var/backup - preferably in maildirs.
Then have some setup ready to take regular backups and clear /var/backup ...
backing up every single mail you get (from the 100 kb chain mail and the pr0n
spams to important office mail - likely to be an 1 meg pdf sometimes) will
eat up disk space rather fast.

You need either a pop or an imap server. I'd recommend Courier IMAP with
VMailMgr. There's a decent perl module for this as well ...
