[NBLUG/talk] Mailsystem keeping copies

[Tim C. Lewis]

qmail can be easily adjusted to do so, if desired.  the "extra.h" file in 
qmail's source has:
#define QUEUE_EXTRA ""
#define QUEUE_EXTRALEN 0

adjust this to, for example:
#define QUEUE_EXTRA "Tmsglog\0"
#define QUEUE_EXTRALEN 8

and build normally, then use a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-msglog (if you 
installed to /var/qmail) file to direct where all such copies should be 
delivered.  Bruce Guenter has a source rpm package that includes this 
msglog patch at:
http://untroubled.org/

i don't know how to accomplish this with postfix/sendmail/etc offhand.
