Logging the message body from an MTA

[Lucas Holt]

Maybe you can use procmail.  I had a procmail script that backed up 
messages in another mbox file while you were testing new rules.  You 
could do something similar to backup all incoming messages and then 
write a program that could read the file or use a pop3 interface to 
read the messages and then store them in mysql or whatever.
