Then you can modify the "transport" for the address
"archive at yourdomain" in postfix
to deliver to another server, or using another transport, like a self
made script or using procmail.
You can also fetch the emails from "archive at yourdomain" mailbox
using POP3 protocol (or even imap) and reinject it in your application.

I like th POP3 solution, this is simple and is asynchronous, you can
fetch the emails when you are ready.
