Chapter 2 Mail Service Maintenance 65
Saving Mail Messages for Monitoring and Archival Purposes
You can configure mail service to send blind carbon copies (Bcc) of each incoming or
outgoing message to a user or group that you specify. You might want to do this if you
need to monitor or archive messages. Senders and receivers of mail don’t know that
copies of their mail are being archived.
You can set up the specified user or group to receive the blind carbon copies using
POP, then set up a client email application to log in periodically and clean out the
account by retrieving all new messages. Otherwise, you may want to periodically copy
and archive the messages directly from the destination directory with automated shell
commands. You can set up filters in the email client to highlight certain types of
messages. Additionally, you can archive all messages for legal reasons.
To save all messages:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the General tab.
4 Check “Copy incoming and outgoing messages to” and type a user name or group
name.
5 Click Save.
Monitoring Mail Service
This section describes how to use the Server Admin application to monitor the
following:
• Overall mail service activity, including the number incoming or outgoing connected
mail connections.
• Current connected mail users.
• Mail accounts.
• Mail service logs.
This section also describes how Mac OS X Server reclaims disk space used by logs and
how you can reclaim space manually.
Viewing Overall Mail Service Activity
You can use Server Admin to see an overview of mail service activity. The overview
reports whether the service is running, when mail service started, and incoming and
outgoing connections by protocol.
To see an overview of mail service activity:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click the Overview button.
