How can I configure qmail to automatically BCC a copy of all outgoing email?

  • 772

I’m running an email server using qmail.

I want to transparently add a BCC to each email that is sent through the server, for particular accounts. This would have the effect of saving every sent email to a separate mailbox for archival and legal purposes.

What’s the best way to go about doing this?

  1. I'm not a qmail user, but this is the answer from the qmail FAQ:

    Set QUEUE_EXTRA to Tlog\0 and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h. Recompile qmail. Put > ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log

    You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every message: run

    | awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'

    from ~alias/.qmail-log

    More at the bottom of http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/admin.html#copies - but I must admit this is completely arcane to me!
