Er...  Wouldn't it be **FAR** easier to just configure client MUAs to Do
The Right Thing and save copies of outgoing mail in the appropriate
folder?

However, assuming that you have reasons to go to this kind of trouble...

Should be fine.

OK;  just to get a clear picture, are you using IMAP mail access?

I'm not sure what's going wrong;  are you saying that the code you
pasted above isn't causing the correct behaviour on internal mail vs
internal-to-external mail?  (It should work just fine, FYI.  Outbound
mail from your private subnet is outbound mail from your private subnet,
no matter what the destination.)
