I am using Mailbutler to send an auto bcc to my back up mail address.
Unfortunately Mailbutler will stop this service per May 2022.
I found an old article about a Terminal UserHeaders command that is no longer working, but nothing else.
Does anyone know how I can set mail up to have an automatic BCC send to an address that is not myself?
iMac, OS X 10.10
I'm having same issue -- Terminal command is no longer working. My work around is to auto bcc the sending email address, then use a Rule to redirect the BCC to the alternate address. I also have a rule to delete the incoming BCC email so it doesn't clog up my inbox.

It is an unusual workflow/request... yours is the first I have seen in over 10+ years in these forums.

Understood.

spam/spoofing/Privacy is making this more difficult and undesirable across the SMTP and mail clients....

*If you use a non-iCloud SMTP server, don't use your iCloud email address as a "Send From" address. Otherwise, your email might not deliver or it might deliver to the recipient's Junk folder.

My Apple mail is so bloated with >100.000 mails, that I delete everything that is older than 2 years.
Every mail that I receive and sent, is forwarded to a gmail address for saving as back up, so when I need to find something that can be done very quickly.
Forwarding incoming mails is no issue, outgoing mails was done through the Mailbutler plug in, but they are stopping that part of their service.
So tried to find a way that saves me from having to add a bcc to every mail I sent out.
Thank you for your reaction.
