I have the following sendmail problem:
|
|
For backup purposes I boss ordered me to force sendmail to make carbon
|
|
or blind copy
|
|
of each mail (which comes in, out, or which is to be relayed through
|
|
box) to specified account.

I personally spent three weeks trying to figure out how to do this.
|
|
After much research, gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair (and finally
|
|
consulting an email guru/colleague), the answer is "You can't do that in
|
|
sendmail".

While browsing sendmail docs all I found was
|
|
some mysterious sounds about any sendmail 'scripting language' which
|
|
supposed
|
|
to be called "Milton" or "Miller" or something like that, which allows
|
|
that feature, and is to be installed by patching sendmail and re-compiling
|
|
it.

I looked into that, and that requires you to write your rules in
|
|
the C programming language, IIRC.

But I feel there must be a simpler rule to do this - maybe by rewriting
|
|
some "From:" and "To:" envelopes or something?
|

You'd think so, wouldn't you. One fellow had an example of a
|
|
sendmail.cf rule that supposedly will do what you describe, but I never
|
|
found anyone who actually got it working.

However, there is an easy solution: install postfix. Postfix is a "drop-in
|
|
replacement" for sendmail, i.e. any programs that already rely on sendmail will
|
|
continue to work without any changes on your part.
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
To do what you want with postfix is done simply by adding one line to a
|
|
configuration file. And, there are two nice howtos (written my the
|
|
above-mentioned mail guru) that you can read at
