I've been asked this exact question before.

Sendmail can easily trap (and copy or whatever) mail destined for local
delivery, as all you need to do is make procmail your local delivery agent
(LDA) or tie procmail in to whatever your LDA is.

Having it do this for mail which is passing through (such as any mail
outbound mail from your clients) is more difficult.  I haven't played with
sendmail milters (mail filters) yet but they should be able to do it as
this is how Spam Assassin filtering for mail passing through is done.  
Milters are quite new but perhaps someone has played with them.  I
certainly do plan to look at them at some stage as they appear to be very
useful.

Cheers,
