You can log *all* traffic into a single file by using the -X switch, e.g. sendmail -bd -q15m -X /var/log/sendmail.dump >From there, you can extract individual messages with a script. Note that this will only log mail which is sent through the daemon. That will be sufficient for a dedicated mail server, but not for a system on which users have shell accounts. Anything other than that is messy. The sendmail FAQ's contribution to this topic is limited to the following: [from http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section4.html#4.20 ] Subject: Q4.20 -- How can I automatically copy messages based on sender or recipient addresses?

You could either write a mail filter using the new Milter API in sendmail 8.10 and later (see libmilter/README) or you could look at some of these other unsupported hints: o Axel Reinhold's logall.c module o Message-Id: <33AA593A.4B701C3F@xxxxxxxxxxx> o the procmailrc man page Note that no such feature has been added to sendmail.
