I have done just this a few weeks ago also for a subset
of users in one of our offices. I had one more problem:
the host hasting the archive is not the localhost.
Eventually I ended up in putting both incoming and outgoing
archiving into a filter (after tweaking with directors and
routers, I came to the conclusion that for what I wanted,
I needed the exim 4 flexibility to obtain a clean solution :-) ):
# (...) the generic anti-spam filter preceding this one
# Outgoing mails
# We need to check the sender host address for outgoing mails;
# potentially, lusers will be sending from the x, y and z subnets.
if ( $sender_host_address is ""
or $sender_host_address is 127.0.0.1
or $sender_host_address begins "1.2.x."
or $sender_host_address begins "1.2.y."
or $sender_host_address begins "1.2.z.")
and ${domain:$sender_address} matches "some.domain" then
if ${lookup{${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}lsearch{/path/to/to-archive/users}{yes}{no}} is "yes" then
unseen deliver archive-address@???
endif
# Incoming mails
elif foranyaddress $recipients
(${lookup{${lc:${local_part:$thisaddress}}}lsearch{/path/to/to-archive/users}{yes}{no}} is "yes") then
unseen deliver archive-address@???
endif
Naturally, thanks the many expansion variables and operators, you
have almost unlimited possibilities to design conditions
appropriate to your needs.
