I don't know if that's as easy as a config line.... but what you want to do is create an additional RCPT TO: <boss-e-mail-address> PRIOR to the smtp DATA command. (Note the < and > are part of the smtp syntax.) There's no need to put the cc: in the rfc822 headers if you really want it to be done secretly. (and cc: would be seen by all recipients anyway, so it wouldn't be secret for long.) By using RCPT TO: without putting it in the "envelope" you effectively create a "bcc:" (blind courtesy copy) This sort of thing has other uses... all e-mail can be copied to another location to be archived... a copy of a reply could also be sent to the same archival place and effectively all e-mail communications are recorded...
