How to COPY (not forward) incoming mail?

[rokahn]

I wish to copy incoming mail to another system using something like .forward but leave the mail on the primary server. Is there a straightforward way to do this (without needing administrator privileges)?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>

Setup a &quot;.forward&quot; looking something like:<br>
<br>
<FONT FACE=monospace>¦ tee -a /path/to/my/mail/archive ¦ mailx &quot;FWD from mybox&quot; <A HREF="mailto:my.other.user@somewhere.else">my.other.user@somewhere.else</A></font><br>
<br>
This appends incoming mail to <FONT FACE=monospace>/path/to/my/mail/archive</font>, and forwards it to <FONT FACE=monospace><A HREF="mailto:my.other.user@somewhere.else">my.other.user@somewhere.else</A></font>.<br>
<br>
If you want to get more complex with this (ie, rewriting subject lines, etc.) take a look at procmail. Although, you'll need your admin to install this for you...<br>

HTH.
