Intercept QMail SMTP emails

Question

Hello

Here is the situation, we have a linux web server that runs Plesk and I need a way to intercept emails sent to and from the server. Plesk uses qmail to send and receive emails.

We have sorted the receiving emails problem by adding a mailgroup to each email address that includes an "archive@" address. Then we use a PHP script to read the "archive@" mailbox and puts the emails into a MySQL database.

My problem at the moment is how to capture the messages sent from the server. Has anyone had any experience in doing this?

Thanks Peter

this can be done via QUEUE_EXTRA (http://www.google.com/search?q=queue_extra), for which you need to recompile qmail. some hints on doing this on plesk here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pt&u=http://www.maglione.com.br/artigos/artigostecnicos/pleskqextrahowto).
