Setting up milter-bcc or other similar tools will only work for email that is sent through your email server. Users can and sometimes do configure their outbound SMTP server to point to some other email server on the Internet. Tools that run on your email server will not be able to intercept those messages. The same is true for users that use gmail or one of the other free email accounts. You could try to block such connections at your firewall or try to log such connections at the firewall. However this becomes a cat and mouse game for the most part. In theory you could force all outgoing access to go through a proxy server but then a user could write an application that tunnels through the proxy server using an allowed protocol to hit a system on the outside that would send his email from that server. Most users would not know how to do this but depending on the user set it can be done. Just be aware that such tools are not fool proof. -- Scot L.
