I have been trying to get this to work for a while now and have been
unsuccessful in my attempts.  I can do each one individually, but when I try
to combine them, it doesn't work as I expected it to.  And I imagine it's
something I am missing.

I am attempting to receive mail from one or many domains.  I am then trying
to run a script that [essentially] archives all mail coming through.
Lastly, forwarding the messages onto another server.

I am able to run a script by using the filter on the smtp, similar to many
ways to invoke Spamassassin.  The script parses some information out of the
mail file, writes (archives) it to a directory. 

I separately know, by using the relayhost option to forward the mail to a
server, I can do this.  Call it a relay, gateway, whatever.

When I try to combine the procedures, it either forwards all mail before
invoking the script, or it just dies(exits successfully) after running the
script--depending on the options I do.

I have looked into the bcc always option, but it seems to require it to
forward to an email address.

I am trying to basically "archive" all messages coming through without using
the bcc option. We are being required to archive/save all emails (by law
requirement) and hang onto them for (x) years.  My theory was to put this
machine in between incoming mail, capture data, then move it onto the email
server.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?  Am I going about this the wrong way?

Any direction would be fantastic, as I am unsure why this current scenario
isn't working.   Thanks in advance for any helpful information.
