I'm changing postfix installations from one installed years ago by people who are no longer here on an operating system which is no longer supported, and I'd like to get a sampling of real data from the existing postfix installation to test the new installation.

So, is there a way to get a copy of all e-mails going through a postfix saved somewhere?

Please note that most stress test tools I found out there are not adequate for our needs, because what most needs testing is how anti-spam and anti-virus are reacting, and the stress testers I found generate random data instead of using real samples.

  • Not really what I want, but I'll keep it in mind. In particular, it won't send e-mail that is being held or rejected, which are the ones most important to me. Dec 3, 2010 at 20:38

Yes you can copy all mail i can give now example

If you instal in old server postfix in /home/vmail .. for example you have domains domain1.com , domain2.com , domain3.com You can copy all domains with rsync in new server with root. After that you need to change grup like that. In new server on domain /home/vmail/domain1.com you have to make this chown vmail:vmail /home/vmail/domain1.com -Rf . You need laste command becouse only vmail have permition to write and read this folder . If root is owner on this folder you cant make anything.

  • Sorry, this isn't what I'm looking for. I have an SMTP relay, and I want a copy of all mail going through it. Dec 3, 2010 at 20:35
