Oh, then our intentions may be quite similar, if not identical.
I'm looking for a solution to have a carbon copy of every message received by
postfix. I've tried to inject a script as an additional content filter on
receiving smtpd transport, but this didn't worked well. When I resubmit a
message through local pickup, bayesian analyser in SA suddenly refuse to work.
BCC maps are not quite working (i'm loosing about 15% of all messages in test
setup).

I'm now looking for a way to make AMaViS either submit an unmodified copy of
the message to the specified SMTP backend, or to call a script directly from
inside AMaViS and pass a message to it before any modifications.
The script I'm using is rather simple, it just delivering a message into
specified Maildir/ format folder. The advantage of Maildir is that it store
every message as a separate file, so it's quite easy to operate.

You all say that...

P.S.
I'm attaching a full version of my carbon copier script - the one that is
suitable to use as content-filter. But, again, be warned that if you inject it
before AMaViS, your SPAM filtering would break.
