Scan all mail messages through the server and save a copy into file system following a rule

In our company we work for our customer with a job# philosophy, managing all the informations about a job in a share with directories whose name is starting with job number. Under this entry point we have a standard structure of folders, comprising a "communications" folder.
When we send emails concerning a job, in the subject we put first of all 4 digits representing the job number. I need to save automatically a copy of these messages into the correct place, despite of sender or destination/s.

Now, I know the first step has to be the management of messages passing the smtp (postfix) analizing the subject to find the four digits. First idea could be modify the spamassassin filters/rules to get the work done, but something is telling me it's not a so good idea. So, here the first question: what's the correct place to interact with postfix having the message dubbing? Also thought about aliases, but I'm not sure it's possible messages dubbing instead of redirecting.

After this, a perl or php script can surely do what I need, but this will be next novel.

Thanks to anyone could be interested in this trial.

Ciao, Roberto

globus-job-clean

GLOBUS-JOB-CLEAN(1)						  GRAM5 Commands					       GLOBUS-JOB-CLEAN(1)

NAME

       globus-job-clean - Cancel and clean up a GRAM batch job

SYNOPSIS

       globus-job-clean [-r RESOURCE | -resource RESOURCE]
			[-f | -force] [-q | -quiet] JOBID

       globus-job-clean [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]

DESCRIPTION

       The globus-job-clean program cancels the job named by JOBID if it is still running, and then removes any cached files on the GRAM service
       node related to that job. In order to do the file clean up, it submits a job which removes the cache files. By default this cleanup job is
       submitted to the default GRAM resource running on the same host as the job. This behavior can be controlled by specifying a resource
       manager contact string as the parameter to the -r or -resource option.

       By default, globus-job-clean prompts the user prior to canceling the job. This behavior can be overridden by specifying the -f or -force
       command-line options.

OPTIONS

       The full set of options to globus-job-clean are:

       -help, -usage
	   Display a help message to standard error and exit.

       -version
	   Display the software version of the globus-job-clean program to standard output.

       -version
	   Display the software version of the globus-job-clean program including DiRT information to standard output.

       -resource RESOURCE, -r RESOURCE
	   Submit the clean-up job to the resource named by RESOURCE instead of the default GRAM service on the same host as the job contact.

       -force, -f
	   Do not prompt to confirm job cancel and clean-up.

       -quiet, -q
	   Do not print diagnostics for succesful clean-up. Implies -f

ENVIRONMENT

       If the following variables affect the execution of globus-job-clean.
