That is not the best way to do it, as each mail needs a sha256 checksum generated, so the archiver can testify, that the archived email is untampered. With a mbox file, you would need to sign this growing pile of data each time a message is appended, which will overpower your server in a few weeks. Storing the messages in the default maildir format, allows to sign each message separately without causing hassle to the system. - it's easier to maintain - easier to delete old messages - needs less power but increases the accesstime to the directory with 200k mails per month, which suggests to store it in seperate directories /var/mail/user/<YEAR>/<MONTH>/ heres the router, you can use a different "target"(data) if you like: begin routers archiver: driver = redirect data = mail-arc...@domain.com pipe_transport = address_pipe unseen ... normal routers ... best regards, Cyborg -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## exim-users-unsubscr...@lists.exim.org ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/ -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## exim-users-unsubscr...@lists.exim.org ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
