I do not know why, but I have two alias files on my system. One is
in /etc/mail/aliases and contains the regular Linux system aliases
with the addition of:
  sympa:      "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"
  listmaster: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"

The second alias file (/etc/mail/sympa/aliases) contains what looks
like a list of all my active mailing lists:

  staff.remote: "| /usr/lib/sympa/lib/sympa/queue address@concealed"

I added ", listmail@localhost" to /etc/mail/aliases, however I did
not see any delivery in /var/log/mail to the listmail user when posting
to various lists.

I am now testing this in my postfix configuration:
main.cf:
  always_bcc = listmail

master.cf:
  procmail unix - n n - - pipe
    flags=RO user=listmail argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m USER=${user} \
    EXTENSION=${extension} /etc/procmailrc

procmail does indeed deliver this to the listmail user now, however he
receives two messages; one from "(list)-address@concealed" and
another which appears to be the sent message (containing Thread-Topic:
and Thread-Index: headers). I could use /home/listmail/.procmailrc to 
further filter out unwanted messages but this all seems like a very long 
way around.

The suggestion about post_archive hook sounds like a good solution, but
I would rather not deviate from the bundled Ubuntu 14.04 software on the
system.

Thank you
