I'm using maildrop as the delivery agent for postfix. But I'd like to keep users' email in /var/spool/mail for backup purposes.

Right now I'm using Postfix with the "always_bcc = maildebug" so that all mail gots backed up in case my NFS server goes down and maildrop can't deliver mail to ~user/Maildir any more ("maildebug" is a local account on the postfix-server)

But I really would like to have maildrop deliver all mail to _both_ ~user/Maildir and /var/spool/mail/user/Maildir so that mail gots backed up. Then I just could have a cron that runs each month and erases all mail older than one month (just check the date of the files) under /var/spool/mail .

Could anyone please provide a dirty patch to provide this?

Cheers, Lilla
