The rotating part would be logrotate's job, I suppose -> man logrotate.
As for the copy: If your mail is coming in via sendmail it might be very
easy, as Red Hat's default setup is using procmail as delivery agent.
Hence, all you'd need to do is to set up a procmail receipe to store a
copy of each mail in a defined folder. If you don't know procmail yet, a
start would be the man pages procmail, procmailrc and procmailex.
The receipe you'd need would be rather simple, I think - give me a shout
if you have a problem.
HTH,
