 I was presented with this problem some time back.  My employers wanted
all mail, incoming and outgoing, recorded.  The incoming was done fairly
easily with procmail, but there isn't anything native to procmail or
sendmail that can handle outgoing.  There is, however, a patch to sendmail
that can log all mail -- incoming, outgoing, probably even relayed (scary
thought, I know).  It can be found at:

 The documentation (as much as it is) is in a huge comment in the file.  I
haven't looked at it since I implemented it, but perhaps it could be
adapted to only log outgoing mail.
 Hope that helps.
