[Mailwatch-users] Email Archiving Patch

Graham,

Thinking about it, I presume you are not going to store the actual message in a database ?  IMHO it would be better to modify MailScanner so that it could store the messages in a seperate area on disk.  Just as it does with quarantined messages.  It would be fairly simple to add a new option to MailScanner.conf and then update MessageBatch.pm and Message.pm to write out the email if the parameter is set.  This would also satisfy requirements of SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley).

I have cross-posted to MailScanner list as I believe that it is appropriate.  Apologies if not deemed so by others.

Regards,

List:

I am working on a patch that will allow MailWatch store Clean messages
within a new table for archiving purposes since archiving of email is
being required for Indiana K-12 School Districts.


I have been successful within Mailwatch when a message is clean to store
the message within another table called mailarchive at the same time
that it is storing the message within maillog. Right now I am stumped is
what variable within the $$message structure would contain the same
information that is within the message id text file that is stored
within the filesystem?

Once I can figure this out, then I will be working on a patch for the
Web Interface for Administrators to retrieve any message from this new
table. Then I will need to learn how to create a patch so others who
want to utilize this can patch their files.
