Hi Bahati,

Never again hijack a thread to start your own ;-)

In system filter:

if $h_to: contains "xyz.com" then
unseen deliver localcopy@your_mail_server.name
endif

That will keep a local copy but the mail will continue to be
processed. There are other ways of course, but this one is simpler.

So that what happens???

It seems you actually need to do something I call DomainPOP mail
collection: Simply use an alias to deliver all mail to this domain
into a single mailbox and let them collect it via your POP3 daemon.
In the same process, drop a copy into a 'localcopy' mailbox:

If you use domain aliases (see archives for examples), you simply
use something like this:

*@domain.tld:    localcopy, their_mailbox


such that two copies are delivered. Give them access to their_mailbox
and do whatever you want to do with the copies dropped into 'localcopy'
mailbox, as long as it's legal ;-)

That is based on K.I.S.S principle.
