Both of these can be done by setting up an "archive" account that uses procmail
or something similar to do the archiving.  Then it's just a matter of:

	if (the_right_conditions_are_met()) {
		add_recipient('archive-bot at mydomain.net');
	}

As far as the e-mail wiretap usage goes, you'd best check with your
legal department first before implementing something like this.  It's
probably legal in the US, but it may be illegal in some other countries
to tap an employee's mail without his knowledge and/or consent.
