Re: MTA with automatic per user bcc support?
I didn't make myself clear i think, so i'll try again:
I basicly want 2 things:
1. when an email is incoming for john@foo.com i want to be able to have
an automatic bcc to johns_department@foo.com and/or
johnshomeaddress@home.com. In our old mailserver this is an option
called 'bcc in'. Does this work with aliasing? I to be able to bcc to
external addresses as well as local users.
should this work?:
/etc/aliases (for domain foo.com):
#begin aliasses
john: johns_department@foo.com johnhomeaddress@home.com
#end aliasses
This should mean that every email send to john@foo.com is delivered to
local user john, local user johns_department and is also send to
johnshomeaddress@home.com
2. when john sends an email i want to be able to have the message
automaticly bcc-ed to e.g. johnsmanager@foo.com or to
johnshomeaddress@home.com. In our old mailserver this is an option
called 'bcc out'.
This is not only to be able to read your mail at home, but also for a
manager to check the incoming and outgoing mail of his employees without
them knowing it.
This is an option the systemadministrator can set, not the user
him/herself.
I'm looking for the same functionality in a new MTA.
Thanks for your reactions so far!
