snippet from <http://postfix.openu.ac.il/cleanup.8.html>
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant
       to this program. See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax
       details and for default values. Use the postfix reload
       command after a configuration change.

Miscellaneous
       always_bcc
              Address to send a copy of each message that enters
              the system.

Example - backup MX for XXX which is down for a long time
use procmail to notify first time mailers that XXX is down
(ugly but it worked just fine for
  backup MX with sustained 100+ incoming SMTP sessions)
--in main.cf
# The always_bcc parameter specifies an optional address that
# receives a copy of each message that enters the Postfix system,
# not including bounces that are generated locally.
#
always_bcc = XXXmastr
