procmail can do it as mentioned by others, MailScanner is quite happy to
copy in the qf and df files, only issue with this idea is on a busy mail
server you get directories with thousands and thousands of files in
there real fast.

My solution there was to shove the files at a database, I can ship you a
copy of my scripts and schema's if you like
