[SOLVED] Automatically CC an account? Is this possible?

Post by sternfan »

I have an email account that I use only for tech support. While in that account, I would like to automatically CC a different account for every email (as a record of the email).
I don't mean forwarding - that is for email you are recieving. I mean automatically sending (or CCing) a different email account for every email sent.
Is this possible?
Thanks,

Rob

Just came accross someone else asking today-and as this is only a few days old thought I'd share:

[quote user="fajarpri"]Mail copies (always_bcc) in domain / certain user[/quote]-can already do in postfix: always_bcc = address@domain.com (you can also do maps with 'sender_bcc_maps' and 'recipient_bcc_maps')

I cant seem to figure out how to get always_bcc to work for 1 specific user
ie. All sent mail from a@domain.com to be sent to b@domain.com

[QUOTE]-can already do in postfix: always_bcc = address@domain.com (you can also do maps with 'sender_bcc_maps' and 'recipient_bcc_maps')[/QUOTE]
how do i specify the sender/forwarding address in that scenario?
if someone could post an example I would appreciate it
Thanks in advance

to get it to work it did the following steps
in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf i created a file called sender_bcc

and added the user i wanted to copy/send to

employee@domain.com boss@domain.com
in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.conf I added sender_bcc_maps = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/sender_bcc
then run as zimbra user

postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/sender_bcc
restart postfix -

postfix reload


This did the trick for me

Regarding Rib's post:

Is there a reason why this doesn't work with 3.13_GA ?
When I activate this (with the postfix reload) zimbra no longer accepts connections from my mail clients. As soon as I copy back my original main.cf and reload postfix, everything's fine again.
I'd really like to use sender_bcc_maps but I can't get it to work with our old system.
And yes, I know I should upgrade to a newer version, but that's easier said than done. But I'm working on it.

Meanwhile, any input on getting this running with 3.13 would be appreciated.
Thanks

I ran into the same problem, it was due to the fact that i forgot to run the postmap command.

This is still something I'd like to use.
However, I'm don't quite understand. How is portmap used in this case?

What other configuration is needed to make it work with postfix?
Thanks again for the reply.

@ KLGNT
Sorry, i should have been more clear.
You said :

"When I activate this (with the postfix reload) zimbra no longer accepts connections from my mail clients."
I ran into the same symptom after :

- having created a sender_bcc map,

- modified main.cf

- run postfix reload
You see above that the postmap command from rib's instructions is missing.
Now if i run :

- "postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/sender_bcc"

before "postfix reload" it works for me.
I am not sure it is related but that solved my problem.
