Lawful Intercept: Mail Storage (mail-intercept) Plugin

Note

This plugin is provided by Dovecot Pro's Lawful Intercept Framework.

This plugin can be used to intercept all saved, copied and moved messages. This includes only the message itself without any metadata. This plugin is configured for a Dovecot backend.

In some cases it can be useful to capture messages that are saved to the user's mail storage.

One application is that it provides a means to reliably capture messages that are saved using the IMAP APPEND command.

This is necessary for certain backends (e.g., Utimaco).

Configuration

protocol imap {
  mail_plugins {
    mail_intercept = yes
  }
}

The interception is enabled if userdb returns a non-empty intercept extra field.
