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.

nmzmail

NMZMAIL(1)						      General Commands Manual							NMZMAIL(1)

NAME

       nmzmail - a tool to use the namazu2 search engine from within mutt

SYNOPSIS

       nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] -i <maildir1> <maildir2> ...

	-or-

       nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] [ -n <limit> ]

DESCRIPTION

       nmzmail	is a program that uses the namazu2 search engine (http://www.namazu.org) from within the mail client mutt to search and index mail
       stored in maildir folders.  Based on the result of the namazu query, nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic  links  to  the
       mail  matching  the query.  A simple mutt macro makes it very easy to use nmzmail from within mutt, and a simple crontab entry always keeps
       your mail indexed by namazu.

       Add the following macro to your muttrc file:

       macro generic S "<shell-escape>nmzmail<return><esc>c~/.nmzmail/result<return>" "Search via nmzmail"

       Run mutt and hit "S" and enter your query when prompted.

       You can manually update your index periodically or via a cronjob with:

       nmzmail -i <maildir1> <maildir2>  ...

OPTIONS

       -i     This tells nmzmail to index your email.

       -b FILE
	      Base.  Where nmzmail builds its index.  By default it is in $HOME/.nmzmail.

       -r FILE
	      Result.  Similar to -b, this lets you specify where the results are to be built. By default it is within $HOME/.nmzmail.

       -n NUM Limit.  When making a query, nmzmail can be used directly from the command line instead of from within mutt.  When the -n option	is
	      invoked, the number of results returned from your query will be limited to whatever integer you specify for NUM.
