Archiving emails

[Jason <qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm finding most mailing list archives a pain to search through.  Often
questions asked are poorly worded so other users searching often can't find
the question and answers they need quickly thus end up asking the list a
question that's been over asked.  A good example is probably this question
as my searches came up with discussions about MySQL and PostgreSQL and
whether people think they can keep up or is it reliable, etc, but no answers
if it could be done and if so how.

So here is the I'm sure over asked question on this group.  Is there anyway
to have all emails sent to one (or more) particular addresses (perhaps a
questions@domain or a mailing list) on a qmail server COPIED to a database
(MySQL) or at least a separate file where a parsing program could move them
later?  This way messages still carry on as normal but now I've got a copy
to archive them.

My reasons to move this to a database such as MySQL is so I can build an
interface that lets one or more administrators go in and sort messages, add
keywords, delete, censor each message and/or thread.  This way a truly
friendly and very useful support page (like a FAQ page) can be developed
with much less work than me manually copying useful messages into a support
site.
