NB is you're doing mail archiving for regulartory reasons (SOXX etc) being able to access the information in short timscales is critical. You have to be able to get the to the requestor in quite a small amount of time and of course keep 7 years of data. <br>

I am guessing you are trying to build an email continuity system where your customers can still read their email<br>
via a webmail interface while their mail server is down.<br>
<br>
Depending on what MTA you are using, you can use SMTP multiplexing to deliver both to the webmail system and<br>
to the customers mail server.<br>
<br>
The MTA will deliver to the webmail system a copy of each message that gets processed by the MTA, in even of the<br>
remote customer server being down the messages will get queued and delivered normally when the system gets<br>
back up.<br>
<br>
For postfix and sendmail there are milters that can do this, for exim you will have to setup routers to do this.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps<br>
