A customer asks me to receive a copy of the mails outgoing from the other mailboxes to his mailbox
I did a search on the forum and I found that I should do the following:

1.
mkdir -p /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/exim
cp -p /etc/system_filter.exim /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/exim/


2. edit etc/system_filter.exim (in /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/exim/) and add code (before version history), example:

Code: 
if $h_from: contains "[email protected]"
or $h_from: contains "[email protected]""
or $h_from: contains "[email protected]""
then
unseen deliver "[email protected]"
endif

Is this the correct way to do it?
Is a restart of Exim enough or does it rebuild Exim?
 
It's a bit older and looks fairly the same, but a bit easier so to see.
You already tried this?

Getting a copy of outgoing email

Hey Guys, Tried searching the forum but nothing came up though. We need to view (or receive a copy) of one particular pop3 account that is sent via our SMTP server, we need this to review how our support department is answering mails.. How can we achieve that? Thanks in advance for helping...

UH such is not allowed without knowing and approval of the other MAILUSERS!

I never use settings or scripts that are proven breaking LAWS , is very risky if you help there!

As those are his/here own mailboxes then very simple they could use cc or even bcc in their own mail clients or scripts.
Also the mailusers he want's copys from could use in settings a cc or bcc or the scripts.
That is the only way to go here!

So please DON"T is my advice ;)

I appreciate the advice but I am having trouble following it:
The person in question is the manager/owner of the company.
It is about the redirection of professional mails and logically, the professional mails are used for work and not for personal use. From this principle, any correspondence exchanged within the context of work comes under his right to be informed.

Again also those has to be known by the mailusers and approval needed.
So much more easy to have the bcc, or cc in mail client.

Also the other side/ Receiver must know the mails are read by the BOSS of the company!

While only then the workers know and see what the Boss get as copy , all other is kind of sneeky and dangerous to do by LAWs, of some one making a joke by professional mail to someone it could be private though and yes mostly by LAW it is also prohibited to use professional mail also for some more private stuff , as honey i am home a hour later have to work..... ;) It is very hard to exclude private things / use in contracts IN IT in lot off Country's by LAW.
For example private internet use you can't forbid, or there must be over another network private internet access on work.

NO LAW ADVISE HERE only pointing some things, that are so different handled by LAWS over the world.

BOSSES aren't allowed to read even professional mails from workers without their knowledge and approval very easy and simple.

Or are you in a country hosting where that is allowed i doubt this , while is more common it isn't

So private mails are allowed in such mailboxes then reading them no.. and:
"Een werkgever kan niet zonder het akkoord van de werknemer kennis nemen van de inhoud van e-mails in de professionele mailbox van de werknemer, zelfs niet als het om professionele e-mails gaat."

Mag je als werkgever de professionele e-mails van je werknemers lezen? — commit - your legal partner at work

In een arrest van 20 mei 2019 besliste het Hof van Cassatie dat een werkgever de toestemming van de werknemer nodig heeft om zijn professionele e-mails te mogen lezen. Artikel 124 van de Wet van 13 juni 2005 betreffende de elektronische communicatie bepaalt immers dat niemand zonder de toestemming v

And if allowed then so simple to cc or bcc in the mailclients

And YUP i did have problems with the same in teh past , wanted backups from other usermail :(

Sorry for the delay.
@ikkeben, thank you very much for the details and the link of the article (very instructive reading). Anyway, if I need legal advice in web hosting, I know who to contact :)
@Richard G, good intuition, I'm not from the EU but more precisely from Algeria, so no GPDR (for the moment).
