auto bcc to different email address

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.

I can do it manually without any problem, but a computer should be able to automate that simple task shouldn't it?

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

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?

change to Bcc: add your email if different then what you are sending from (?)

Thank you for your reaction.

This is only if you want to bcc to your sender address.

I want to bcc to an address which is a different then the one I am sending from

Understood.

Bcc: add your email if different then what you are sending from (?)

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