i have a RaQ4r. i am trying to set up a domain to copy all emails sent to all email accounts to one "admin" account? i have a hosting customer who wants to monitor his employee's emails. does anyone know how to set this up? if so how?

1) I don't think this can be done with out an extensive amount of reconfiguration of qmail/sendmail shiznit.

2) Secondly, a 'hosting customer' wanting to 'monitor' his employee's emails... hum? I'd ask him if he's letting them know they're being 'monitored' - I fjear the day that our RaQ's being Carnovors. There is such a thing as invasion of privacy and maybe you should chat to your customer about it.

It can be done by adding an entry to /etc/aliases

On a new line:
ClientUsername: AdminUserName, ClientUsername

save the file and type : newaliases

This will be overridden should the ClientUser switch their autoresponder on or off though.

However - I agree with mozd3v - It seems a bit out of order reading another persons emails! I know what it feels like.

Jonathan - if you are reading this you know what I am talking about :angry:

I know this isn't what you asked for...but in many cases it goes beyond simply being a bad idea. In many states now it is illegal to do this without providing written notice to the employees that you are monitoring them. Trust me, I know. I got fired over an email a customer sent me that the boss read.

Use Thawte Certs. Encrypt your email. Big Brother is watching.

I gave up using works email - use lokmail -- www.lokmail.com

i was mistaken about what my customer wants. he wants all outgoing mail to be copied to his email account. can this be done?
