I'm working on improving my "sentfolder" mail filter. This filter works
like GMail's SMTP system, copying messages that a user sends into their
sent folder, so that messages only need to traverse the network once.
Courier IMAP has a better option, but no client support to speak of.
I've updated the sendfolder filter to examine the recipients in the
control files and the message file headers, and add a Bcc: header for
any addresses that don't appear in the message headers. It then uses
sendmail to send a copy to the user, along with a header that marks it
for delivery to their sent folder. The problem here is that sendmail
unconditionally removes the bcc: header. I think it might be better if
sendmail removed the bcc header only if it uses headers for the
destination addresses, and left the bcc header if it uses destinations
given as command line arguments. Would that be an acceptable change?
I could work around the problem by using SMTP rather than sendmail, but
I prefer to use sendmail to avoid passing through the courier filters
(at least, in the default configuration).
