Mail-Archiving for single mailboxes
In Germany we are faced with laws about mail archiving.
Usually you could do this:
a) create user@1domain.tld as mailbox
b) forwardy any imcoming mail to user@2domain.tld
But this does not work fully.
We need to copy ANY mail sent or received by user@1domain.tld into a mail-archive which is NOT an eMail-adress like user@2domain.tld.
Instead we need to save the communication for up to ten years in a database or like to hand this out to law enforcement when it comes to compliance issues. Is there any package out there within Pleask who can be adopted?

We see the need that in some markets mail archiving could be important. However, the large number of different laws, regulations not only by country, but also by business types make it almost impossible to provide a "one size fits all" mail archiving solution. Even for the German GoBD, special interest software exists, while their requirements are quite ordinary compared to some U.S. regulations or specific regulations such as for the health and pharmaceutical sector. In some countries it is required to remove outdated personal mails for privacy reasons, in some others it is required to keep such mails, etc.
As all these need special configurations and this request did not become popular, at this time we are not planning to implement an audit-proof mail archiving solution, it would just be an unreasonable investment considering the low popularity of this request.
Instead, if you are looking for mail archiving in your country, please consider using specialized services that match exactly your local government, tax and auditing regulations for your business type.

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, e-mail archiving is mandatory for companies.
An email journal mailbox for all incoming, outgoing and internal emails would be good. And no problem with Postfix either.
