This would also cause any other mail that is sent to host at random be
archived. I don't want to run any spam checking techniques and all the
stuff; that is already done by the main machine. Therefore I want to
narrow the "mail-in chain" to mail from this trusted machine.

Thanks for your answer, I think it helped.
