The real alias line you want to effect what you describe in the above line is this: john:john,johns_department@foo.com,johnhomeaddress@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.

Also, just a little further down the page: Q9817: I need to take copies of all incoming and outgoing mail for certain users. For each user there may be a different monitoring address. I'll not spoil the ending: go see for yourself ;-) http://www.exim.org/FAQ.html#SEC364 > > 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. Yes, only the admin can play with the system filter and the aliases file, in a traditional setup. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." -E.W.
