Archive Mail - how do ppl do it?

[Martin Hepworth]

Michael

I'd have a look at how MailWatch does this. That way people can be domain
admins and release/forward etc email they are allowed to. You'll need to
look at stripping multiple recipients into single ones, but I think the docs
cover this. If not ask where and someone will give you the details on how to
setup Sendmail to do this.
