Well sendmail is a transport agent and the Bcc and Cc are part of
a user agent which passes the data to sendmail [or what other mail
your may have].
My selective article archive shows that Danny Aldham posted about a
program called logall.c - just about a year ago in this newsgroup.
I don't recall if I've seen him posting lately.
Sendmail does have a debugging flag -X <logfilename> but that
logs all parts of a sendmail connenction, the hand shake, all the header
information, all prepended by the process ID of the program at that
time. Really ugly.
If you handle a lot of mail you might want a dedicated HD for just
the logfiles :-)

We have been using a shim called logall.c written by Axel Reinhold ,
<axel@freakout.db> , that is compiled into sendmail.If you would like
a copy let me know, and I can e-mail it to you.

Wed Aug 27 05:33:18 2008: Subject: Logall.c Issues Anshul
hi frnds,
I've tried logall.c it works perfectly fine. It makes copies of every incoming & outgoing Mails
but there r some issues like it makes multiple copies of a single mail if the mail is send to different reciepient like To|Cc|Bcc.
it will the same no of copies of a mail depending upon the ids entered in To|cc|Bcc fields.
It also doesn't copy mails tagged as Spam in the subject. May be this could be bcoz of X-Spam headers.
if any one has some solution to it plz reply.
Anshul
