Yes, but it sure would be nice if we could do away with the need to have
the client send the message over the wire *twice*, once to the smtp
server for outbound delivery, then again to the IMAP server for saving
the Sent copy, when the mail store (and IMAP server) are sitting right
there on the same box as the SMTP server.
Ie, an internal postfix option (that only applies to sasl_authenticated
users):
smtpd_save_to_sent_folder = Sent
which would then simply save a copy of every message accepted for
delivery (by the destination server) to that users 'Sent' folder.
Obviously, such an option would be DISABLED by default, as many
installations would have no desire or need for it.
GMail has been doing this for a long time now, and it is really nice to
be able to simply uncheck the 'Save a copy of Sent Messages to...'
option, and not have to watch Thunderbird take 30+ seconds to send the
message, then another 30+ seconds to save the sent copy (we deal with a
*lot* of large attachments in our business, as do a lot of corporate
installs).
