Intercept is configured for individual accounts, no way to use it for 
everyone.

Rules loose envelope recipients so you can't be sure for whom a 
particular message was.


The Journaler saves those addresses so it's easy to discriminate emails 
to/from a certain user. The search&restore script is included.

Plus it automatically deletes old emails, and it does that in a more 
efficient way than the built-in "Delete Messages after:" option would do 
(it was important for one our customer who has 30G of daily traffic and 
quite busy storage).

And finally, with it it's easier to manage multiple journals for 
different sets of users.

Maybe it was, but I don't recall anyone asked for it here.
