My company has developed a tool to do just this. Open Mail Archive (OMA) 
  intercepts the mails and stores info on them in mysql db. The mails 
can be archived (on cd/dvd or what not) searched and restored using a 
web interface. There is even an auth plugin that works against a kolab 
ldap tree. The version available right now uses the always_bcc trick, 
the one
under development uses a postfix content filter and works like your
diagram. More info here
