Rewrite rule in mappings file

Question

hi all,
in iMS 5.2, can any one suggest me how to write a rule in mapping file so that any mail sent from a particular user (say [email protected]) is also sent (i.e. Bcc 'd ) to [email protected] in addition to the "To:" address which the mail actually goes.
this is required to monitor all mails originating from the address [email protected]
regards,
rajesh.

Yeah, no.
1. there is no such thing as a "rewrite rule" in the mappings file.
2. Likely, what you want is a sieve rule, or a "capture" rule.
3. Or, perhaps save the files to disk, like this:
for capturing all messages to disk files (this doesn't mail the messages, just saves 'em on disk, invisibly)
Add to your mappings file like this:
MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
tcp_local|*@your_domain|D|/usr/ip lanet/server5/msg-dusty/imta/queue/tcp
local/*/* $Y/usr/iplanet/server5/msgsave/$1/$2
Add more lines to capture both inbound and outbound. The above line captures mails sent to the internet.
files get written to the desination directory, for your examination. Since there's no "message" sent, if the destination account gets full, no message gets sent back to give you away. Less performance impact, too.
I have 4 lines in my MESSAGE_SAVE_COPY area, to capture messages for specific people. . You may need fewer or more, depending on your exact needs.
