internal 'bcc' requirement

[tsilihin]

Hi

We're running cPanel with mailscanner / clamAV installed. We have a client who requires that any 'internal' email (where the sender and the recipient are on the same domain) be bcc'd to a general collection / auditing address.

The rule would be something like this:

If (((sender == *@domain.com) and (recipient == *@domain.com)) and (recipient != collector@domain.com)) {

forward-to collector@domain.com

}

This is just pseudo-code - I have no idea what language I would need to be writing it in, or where I would need to insert the rule - this is the info I need

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Shaun

You can do this in MailScanner:

You need to edit MailScanner.conf and search for

Archive Mail =

and change it to:

Archive Mail = %rules-dir%/archive.rules

Then go into the rules subdirectory and create a file called archive.rules and use the folloing format:

FromAndTo: *@customerdomain.com forward monitor@otherdomain.com

Then stop and restart MailScanner. Be very aware of the legal implicationns of facilitating this in your country.

Thanks for your concern, however the collection wasn't actually for employee monitoring - it was for a 'distributed notes' implementation, so that various directors of the company could collate their collective email conversations in one area without needing to configure a client-side BCC setup.

The rule has since been refined to match only specific from: addresses.
