Email Backups

Good Guess's picture

I am in the process of setting up a number of email accounts what I want to do is this.

I need email backup for all emails arising from these accounts so I have access to all correspondence at a later point if required.

Is the below method the only option available to me to achieve this? If it is where do I find the mail directory?

With cPanel you could either take a "Full cPanel Backup" from within your control panel each week/fortnight or you could manually FTP the emails from the mail directory within your home folder.

Thanks

Postani

There is system called Postani (or something close to that). Google bought it out a few years ago and integrated it with Google Apps - so it comes free with that.

Postani receives all in and out email and archives it for you.

It matches US Gov Regs so there is some standards there.

It might be what you are looking for.

[Side note: I try and use Google Apps for all my clients as it moves email handling off my server]

Another option is to set up a second set of mail servers with pass though to keep all incoming email - or redirect to two addresses, one for archive. This does not help with outgoing though.

Catching Sent Emails

Setting up a forwarder to a GMail account only works for incoming email.

Catching sent mail is the tricky bit

If that is important?
