Topic: Automatic CC or copy sent items in another user

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.7
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 12.03.3 LTS
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Hi Zhang, I'm not sure if this is possible but can I set somewhere in LDAP to automatically cc someone so we can monitor check whatever is coming out of that particular user?

Re: Automatic CC or copy sent items in another user

You need per-user BCC.

*) If you have iRedAdmin-Pro, you can add per-user bcc in user profile page. Screenshot attached for your reference.
*) If you don't have iRedAdmin-Pro, please add below attribute/value pair for this user with phpLDAPadmin or other ldap management tool:

enabledService=senderbcc
userSenderBccAddress=monitor@domain.com

NOTE: only one userSenderBccAddress is allowed, this is restricted by Postfix, not iRedMail or iRedAdmin-Pro.

Re: Automatic CC or copy sent items in another user

Interessed in the same question, as I am planning to migrate to iredmail.

At the moment I use postfix with a virtual file and there I use this:

user1@domein.com user1 user2 user3

So all 3 get the same mail. I use local (linux) user acoounts there. What is different with iRedmail setup?
Why can't one mail be sent to the receiver and 2 others?

Re: Automatic CC or copy sent items in another user

According to Postfix document, "multiple results are not supported".

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html# … t_bcc_maps
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#sender_bcc_maps

But your post inspires me, looks like i misunderstood Postfix document, it's OK to return multiple BCC addresses in ONE result. I will test it later and come back to you.

Re: Automatic CC or copy sent items in another user

Can I by any chance put a google group email address in that particular bcc?

Hi JeeGee,

I tested bcc with multiple mail addresses, Postfix doesn't support this. May i know your Postfix settings (postconf -n) and the virtual file you mentioned in your post?

Re: Automatic CC or copy sent items in another user

Sure you can. I will email you the things you asked for. But again, it's not iRedmail, but of course postfix.
Reading your reply, I am not sure if we are talking about the exact same thing. As you are referring to bcc and I just about sending an email to one email address and sent a copy to other local email boxes.
