I think MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info) offers a way of writing your own
code to do things with mail messages prior to delivery. The code has access
to the headers and I assume, the body of the message.

We are using it to log inbound and outbound mail messages, spam, viruses etc
all to a MySQL database but we are not actually storing the content of the
message (just the log info).

Not sure how well it will handle your mail load though; we handle only about
5,000 inbound or outbound messages a day.

Of course, MailScanner will also help you to control spam and viruses
entering your organisation.

For business reasons which include the need to run advanced SQL querries
against a large email archive, I need the ability to somehow commit email
messages - including header <AND> message body - to a MySQL database. I'm
willing to go at this just about any way, but I'm having significant trouble
finding ANY method to log the message body of an email.
