How to automatically CC an email address for sent email
I need a way of forwarding all sent email from an email address to another specified email.
For example, email account a@a.com sends an email to b@b.com, which automatically gets sent to admin@a.com.
One thing to note, I am not an administrator of the server so I cannot edit the exim config file. I have access to horde, squirrelMail and roundCube.
Thanks

Hi, You can setup a email forwarding on b@b.com so the mails also go to admin@a.com. You can take a look at the below documentation link: Forwarders - Version 68 Documentation - cPanel Documentation 0 -
Hi, You can setup a email forwarding on b@b.com so the mails also go to admin@a.com. You can take a look at the below documentation link: a@a.com, not received. So when a@a.com sends an email to c@c.om, d@d.com and e@e.com, these emails will automatically get forwarded to admin@a.com. Hope that makes more sense.

Hi @reko91 You'd probably need to employ the use of an email filter to do what you're requesting. Information on Email filters can be found here: How to Configure Mail Filters - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation If you only have access to the email account (not cPanel) you should be able to reach the Email Filters interface from Webmail by using the drop-down in the top right-hand side with your email address.

I think what he's suggesting wouldn't work with a filter. (would it ?) eg. Lets assume, I have my own domain 'mydomain.com'. I'm sending an email from 'employee@mydomain.com' to an email address which I have no control over. However, I'd also like a copy of that outbound email to be automatically mirrored internally to 'supervisor@mydomain.com'. (effectively an automatic CC or BCC) I can't set up a filter on the recipient, as these are not my domains, I have no control over them. And as far as I'm aware, filtering only works for inbound email, not outbound. If this is the case, then you'll probably need to do this in your outgoing email client software. I was asked to do something similar a few years ago, where the boss wanted to keep tabs on an employee who he suspected was stealing. Very naughty, probably frowned up and more than likely illegal, but it can be done. - Removed - Might I add, that I did this without having to purchase anything, although I can't seem to find my notes on how exactly. 0 -

I did it with a VBS script, but that's about as much as I remember, as it was so long ago. I'd suggest maybe tell the user that they would have to do it at thier end and it cannot be done on the server. Especially cosidering the new GDPR regulations. 0 -
Hi @keat63 You're right I referenced the wrong email filtering solution. The exim system filter should be able to handle the outbound mail request, mail filters within cPanel only handle inbound mail: How to Customize the Exim System Filter File - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation But @reko91 since you mentioned you're not the administrator, you wouldn't be able to do this yourself. You may want to go down the route @keat63 is suggesting to get the desired result. Thanks! 0
