Hi,

I'm just wondering how many of you handle this Archive
Mail option for people/clients that want it from you?

I've just set it up as follows:

Archive Mail = %rules-dir%/archive.mail.rules

and for my archive.mail.fules file:

To: *@domain.com yes forward
/var/spool/MailScanner/archive/domain
FromOrTo: default

As expected, I get the mail archived (copied) in that
directory/_DATE_ now like:

/var/spool/MailScanner/archive/domain/20051122/.....

with it containing:

-rw-------  1 root root  531 Nov 22 01:33
dfjALEX5qc006601
-rw-------  1 root root  153 Nov 22 02:50
dfjALFoYqc015004
-rw-------  1 root root  401 Nov 22 02:51
dfjALFpWqc015122
-rw-------  1 root root  233 Nov 22 04:07

If i wanted to restore this type of mail for the user,
how would I go about doing that with the files kept
like mqueue-type files above? (not knowing which
messages they'd want etc).

I've also looked at the mbox facility provided by
MailScanner, but without auto-creating the mbox files
for me I couldn't find it of much use in a "dated"
directory structure (it would be good if MailScanner
did create the mbox files automatically because I
could then use something like archive_DATE_.mbox as
the filename for the domain and MailScanner would just
create the files ont he fly). 

Thanks.

Michael.
