Another thought:  I believe that Greg over at Compass offers a 
MailScanner PKG.  The conventional use of MailScanner of course is to 
scan for virus and spam, but you could set it to record EVERYTHING and 
not do the spam / virus scanning through MailScanner if it's handled 
elsewhere.  That could be a better option.

Then I would imagine you could set a cron to rsync the contents to 
another box or off-site as may be necessary / desired.

I'm just spitballing here...
