i would like to add a bcc to all mails going out from my postfix

Question

i have a forum which sends out many automatic mails. i would like to gather the mails to have an overview. how can i add a bcc to all outgoing mails excluding some mail-subjects or early hours when especially many mails are sent?

Answer 1

There is an always_bcc parameter in Postfix you could set for that. Or modify the configuration of your forum to add yourself as a Bcc: for these mails. Be aware of the privacy issues of such configuration though (IANAL of course). Check the documentation on The Postfix site

Answer 2

If your forum always sends out mail as a specific sender, there is sender_bcc_maps.

sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/bcc_senders

bcc_senders contains

[email protected]    [email protected]

Then you can add filters on the recipient side to exclude the mail you want to ignore.
