Maybe not. If the address to send copies to is local, one could instead use another MDA to delivery it to that address's mailbox. Relevant documentation to read: qmail FAQ, man dot-qmail, and the documentation of your favorite Mail Delivery Agent (I use deliverquota, part of the Courier/Courier IMAP packages).

One problem with this scenario is the original recipient of the message might see the extra header and mention it to the sender. If you're trying to keep this sort of activity under wraps, that could be a bad thing. ---Kris Kelley PS: My apologies to one particular person who will see this message twice. I botched the reply.

This could add the new headder before sending it to the real qmail-queue. This could be built around the same idea that the qmail-scanner package works. I am working on something like this at the moment...but is very resource intesive and I am a far way from finishing it.

This is a job for your MUA (mutt, kmail, Outlook, whatever), not for qmail. Every decent MUA has the ability to automatically cc/bcc another address on all outgoing mail. If you want to do this at the MTA level, you'll need to use the QUEUE_EXTRA trick, feeding messages to a program which extracts the sender address and decides what to do from there -- but you'll need another qmail instance without QUEUE_EXTRA to do these extra deliveries, or you'll have endless mail loops.
