Has anyone come up with a scheme to duplicate all local user's
mail to a different server - perhaps before any filtering
happens?  I don't need this right now but have wondered
it it would be possible to use a 2nd machine with all
the same accounts as a drop for a copy of all received
email and use one of the web mail interfaces for it.  Then
if anything is accidentally filtered, or you just need
a backup copy of something accidentally deleted you could
grab it from there.
