This question has come up here before, and apparently there are good reasons that this won't ever be an option in postfix - but I agree it would be really nice if postfix had a built-in 'save-sent' option which would save a copy to the users 'sent' maildir for messages sent by users when sasl authenticated...

Totally defeats the purpose of using IMAP (Sent messages won't be available). Maybe dovecots LDA could be cloned, and have a dovecot LSA (submission agent), where it could act sort of as a 'relay' agent. Just tell it the smtp servers address, and have a (the only?) config option for where to save Sent message... -- Best regards, Charles
