Issue with Carbon Copy Mail on Server

Question

Hi there everyone. I am having some issues with the Mail service feature on OS 10.2.8 server. There is a setting that allows you to check it and enter an email address to "copy incoming and outgoing messages to". I have been using this for a while now and as of 6 months ago, after a restart of the server, it stopped working. I try to go in and re enter an email address (because the setting is blank) and it tells me that the email address is either not valid or does not have email enabled.
Both are not true. The account I use for this is a POP account and it does have mail enabled on that server. I tried creating a different account and using it but I keep having the same results.
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I could get it resolved? Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you are wondering if it's a permissions issue, you'll spend less time repairing them than posting here.
Run DiskUtility and do a repair permissions. This can't resolve any permission issue, but does reset permissions to what the system believes they should be.
Your issue is more likely a config error, perhaps from a hiccup when ServerAdmin fails.
I didn't use the mail system of OS X during the 10.2 days... so I can't advise you. Wouldn't even know where to start.
You'll need someone that knows the 10.2 mail service or you'll need to dig through docs and learn where the config files live.
You could try something like grep'ing the /etc directory for the email address you entered for bcc. something like:
sudo grep -r [email protected] /etc
