How to auto CC all outgoing e-mail?

I'm using Debian 5.0.4, exim4 and mutt.
I would like all outgoing mail sent by any/all users CC (not BCC) to a specified e-mail account.
(I do have it working for BCC using 'unseen'.)
I have spent hours of searching/reading/testing how and have not been able to find out how.
I have seen it done on other shells I've been on as a user; any mail that I sent out once the recipient received it was also addressed 'toaddr@thatshell.com').

It's not practical to add an alias for every user on the system (/etc/aliases) and to remember to do so each time adding a user.
If I set in etc/profile alias mail= mail toaddr
Users can still find ways around that.

Thank you.

STG-MAIL(1)							   StGit Manual 						       STG-MAIL(1)

NAME
stg-mail - Send a patch or series of patches by e-mail SYNOPSIS
stg mail [options] [<patch1>] [<patch2>] [<patch3>..<patch4>] DESCRIPTION
Send a patch or a range of patches by e-mail using the SMTP server specified by the stgit.smtpserver configuration option, or the --smtp-server command line option. This option can also be an absolute path to sendmail followed by command line arguments. The From address and the e-mail format are generated from the template file passed as argument to --template (defaulting to .git/patchmail.tmpl or ~/.stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl or /usr/share/stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl). A patch can be sent as attachment using the --attach option in which case the mailattch.tmpl template will be used instead of patchmail.tmpl. The To/Cc/Bcc addresses can either be added to the template file or passed via the corresponding command line options. They can be e-mail addresses or aliases which are automatically expanded to the values stored in the [mail "alias"] section of GIT configuration files. A preamble e-mail can be sent using the --cover and/or --edit-cover options. The first allows the user to specify a file to be used as a template. The latter option will invoke the editor on the specified file (defaulting to .git/covermail.tmpl or ~/.stgit/templates/covermail.tmpl or /usr/share/stgit/templates/covermail.tmpl). All the subsequent e-mails appear as replies to the first e-mail sent (either the preamble or the first patch). E-mails can be seen as replies to a different e-mail by using the --refid option. SMTP authentication is also possible with --smtp-user and --smtp-password options, also available as configuration settings: smtpuser and smtppassword. TLS encryption can be enabled by --smtp-tls option and smtptls setting. The following variables are accepted by both the preamble and the patch e-mail templates: %(diffstat)s - diff statistics %(number)s - empty if only one patch is sent or ' patchnr/totalnr' %(patchnr)s - patch number %(sender)s - 'sender' or 'authname <authemail>' as per the config file %(totalnr)s - total number of patches to be sent %(version)s - ' version' string passed on the command line (or empty) In addition to the common variables, the preamble e-mail template accepts the following: %(shortlog)s - first line of each patch description, listed by author In addition to the common variables, the patch e-mail template accepts the following: %(authdate)s - patch creation date %(authemail)s - author's email %(authname)s - author's name %(commemail)s - committer's e-mail %(commname)s - committer's name %(diff)s - unified diff of the patch %(fromauth)s - 'From: author ' if different from sender %(longdescr)s - the rest of the patch description, after the first line %(patch)s - patch name %(prefix)s - 'prefix ' string passed on the command line %(shortdescr)s - the first line of the patch description OPTIONS
-a, --all E-mail all the applied patches. --to TO Add TO to the To: list. --cc CC Add CC to the Cc: list. --bcc BCC Add BCC to the Bcc: list. --auto Automatically cc the patch signers. --noreply Do not send subsequent messages as replies. --unrelated Send patches without sequence numbering. --attach Send a patch as attachment. -v VERSION, --version VERSION Add VERSION to the [PATCH ...] prefix. --prefix PREFIX Add PREFIX to the [... PATCH ...] prefix. -t FILE, --template FILE Use FILE as the message template. -c FILE, --cover FILE Send FILE as the cover message. -e, --edit-cover Edit the cover message before sending. -E, --edit-patches Edit each patch before sending. -s SECONDS, --sleep SECONDS Sleep for SECONDS between e-mails sending. --refid REFID Use REFID as the reference id. --smtp-server HOST[:PORT] or "/path/to/sendmail -t -i" SMTP server or command to use for sending mail. -u USER, --smtp-user USER Username for SMTP authentication. -p PASSWORD, --smtp-password PASSWORD Password for SMTP authentication. -T, --smtp-tls Use SMTP with TLS encryption. -b BRANCH, --branch BRANCH Use BRANCH instead of the default branch. -m, --mbox Generate an mbox file instead of sending. -O OPTIONS, --diff-opts OPTIONS Extra options to pass to "git diff".
