RE: Notification when user sends email
You are an enormous help! I will do it with procmail, since it doesn't seem like there is another way to do. Just need to get down and dirty with qmail... Thanks for all your help on this!

There may be another way of doing it, but this is the simplest way I know. You need to examine every incoming message to the box and isolate those that are to be delivered to an address in a specific domain. Once you've isolated the incoming messages you care about, you further need to isolate those messages from a specific sender. You can then throw away the message body and forward just the headers on to another address. I don't know of a better way than procmail. Sorry I can't be of more help. Dale

RE: Notification when user sends email
It looks like the server that is hosting our email doesn't have procmail
configured with qmail. Further the provider won't support it Procmail is
installed, but this seems a lot less intuitive than I thought at first.
Would there be a less intruisive way to do this? All I really need to know
is if a user sent a mail to anyone in the company, not the content of the
email.
Thanks for all of the help thus far, you guys are great!

Hello,
You will need to modify it where I am extracting the username part of the
email address from the To: address. That is
where you will want to examine the From: address instead. Note that I am
altering the subject to insert the original
username in front of the subject so that messages in the bigbrother account
can be sorted by their original recipients.
Note that this recipe will need to be in /etc/procmailrc so that it is
processed for all incoming messages.
Hope this helps.

Notification when user sends email
Is it possible to receive a notification when a user sends a emai to anyone in the company? I need to implement something like this. Help would be greatly appreciated!!
