Backing up emails is generally done by the MTA, often times by spawning
a process to do the work. I guess it could be done in PHP, but most of
the ones I've seen are done in Perl or C/C++, and are specific to the
site (and MTA). Analysis can be done by PHP, but but generally is done
in C/C++ because of performance and availability of library packages.
