[nflug] Copy pop account email to another email address in QMAIL

[Darin Perusich]

ok, now i understand.

i've never used qmail but with postfix you could use one of the 
automatic bcc recipient options, see 
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#auto_bcc, maybe 
qmail as a similar mechinism.
