I'd like to know if it's possible to archive mail passing through my
Linux mail server from a specific range of addresses.

The situation is: I write work-related mail on a Psion PDA, which I
then send through my Linux server on to the wider world. The Psion
has a sent-mail folder, but has limited memory and no easy way to
archive sent mail. So currently I BCC every message to a particular
address on my Linux machine, and let procmail handle the archiving.
Apart from when I forget, or mistype the archiving email address.

Is there any way sendmail or some other tool can handle this
automatically? I can persevere with manually BCCing my mail but a
more automated solution would be better. The Linux box in question
is running RedHat 7.2 and sendmail 8.11.6.

Isn't that a bit ancient? ISTR briefly using Red Hat 9 several years
ago.

Anyway, does the Psion support IMAP? You could run a Linux IMAP server
and get the Psion to use that for its Sent folder. You might find my own
mailmng script (see URL in sig) handy for managing the folder although I
wouldn't be surprised if it uses python features too new for the version
of Linux you're using.
