There are three ways you can do this: 1. Have him configure his MUA to BCC himself for every email he sends. 2. Have him configure his MUA to store Sent messages in a "Sent" folder that is in his IMAP connection instead of in a local "Sent" folder on his local hard drive. 3. Have exim deliver all messages send by this user into a subfolder in his maildir. To do this, I would add a router which delivers the email into /path/to/his/Maildir/.Sent/ or similar, with the "unseen" setting so that it continues on to do a regular delivery as well. It will pollute your mail logs though. Personally I would tell him to configure his MUA to do what he wants, not the mail server, but it's up to you which policy you want to set. ...Todd -- The total budget at all receivers for solving senders' problems is $0.
