Zimbra

To archive all outgoing email:

1. Create an account with large quota. i.e: mailuser@domain.com
2. in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf add the line:
   always_bcc = mailuser@domain.com
3. Restart zimbra
4. Login to mailuser acount and from options tab set a filter to discard all messages other than the specific users you want to audit.

rsync -avHK /opt/zimbra/ /zcsbackuprsync/zimbra
mkdir /zcsbackuptars
tar -zcvf /zcsbackuptars/backup.zimbra.version.date.time.tar.gz -C /zcsbackup/zimbra .
