Set default BCC in iCloud mail?

Is there a way to auto-fill BCC in iCloud mail?


I would like all mail that I send from iCloud to be BCC'd to another address, but I don't want to have to insert the address manually every time I compose a message.


I need this mostly on iOS mail, but would also like it on Mac and web (iCloud.com).

iOS 5.1.1, iOS Mail app

Hey, pvonk & ebouy...


I think this solves the matter I've been researching, but I'm not positive. Perhaps y'all can clarify for me...


I know how to insert a script into OS X to automatically generate a BCC for every email that originates via Apple Mail; that works great, and I can have copies of all outbound emails sent to whatever email address I choose.


Now that I'm (finally) adding iPhones to the mix, I want to do the same thing. I.e., I want to tell either iOS or the mail client on the iPhone (v5, in case it matters) to automatically send a BCC for every mail that originates from the iPhone, and I want that BCC to be directed to whatever address I choose.


If I'm reading this string correctly, I need to make two settings:


1) Go to Settings > Mail > Contacts and find the "Default Address." Here, enter the email address to which I want the BCCs sent.


2) Go back to Settings > Mail and turn "On" the choice to "Always BCC Myself."


If I'm right about that, here's my question:


When I send mail from that device, is the "Reply-To" setting the mail address from which I originated the message or is it the "Default Address" that I named in Step 1 above?


Thanks!

For iOS, the Settings for mail allow for "Always Bcc Myself" (on/off), which would be the "default address", which can be set a few lines below the on/off mentioned above. (Settings>Mail, Contacts...)


In Apple Mail (macs), you can allow BCC to "myself" which is the account being sent from (not what you want).
